The Syncros do not use that plastic firewall fitting. Yes the fuel filter is
inside that wheel well for protection. The lines can be snaked, pulled
through with the old ones.

Subject: '90 syncro gas lines

Questions more out of curiousity, had ordered the new gas lines from GoWesty
and went to install them today, appears like they have already been replaced
as the plastic part going through the firewall has been removed.   The
interesting part is that the input line is running out the firewall beside
the return line that runs from the T joint, no where near where we expected
the gas line to actually be running, is that normal?

Also appears the gas filter is behind a column behind the rear tire drivers
side, is that where it comes from the factory?  Heck of a place to try and
get at and the only way to change those lines appears to involve removing
the gas tank itself.
