Subject:Re: fuel lines replacing

Fuel lines were one of the first things I started to replace, close to a year
ago.
I originally put on regular 3/8 fuel line...not knowing any better. Without
driving it
more than a couple of miles in 2 weeks, the fuel lines began to bubble and
leak. Fortunately, by this time,
I had learned of the high pressure 7mm fuel line from the list and had been
watching it closely.

Got the REAL fuel line from one of the list vendors. I imagine they all have
it. Rather simple job.
Redid the line from the pressure end of the pump to the small pieces before the
injectors...
Still am planning on doing the front end of the fuel system sometime soon.
I think I bought two 3 meter pieces. Still have plenty left over. Figure it's a
good thing to keep under the back seat.
Don't hesitate!
REPLACE YOUR FUEL LINES FOLKS!
