I am in process of replacing fuel lines.  The last time I did this
(September 2003) I worked around the hard plastic fuel line between the
fuel pump and the firewall connector.  I used a section of rubber fuel
line to connect the pump to the hard plastic and another section of
rubber fuel line to join it with the firewall connector.  Does anyone
else have this hard plastic fuel line in his van?  Was the hard plastic
fuel line the original line?

I plan on replacing the entire line with the rubber fuel line if I can
get the old line out to give room for the new line to get through the
supports.
