But,

My understanding is that Ken's kit will get you fixed for the engine
compartment only. To do a thorough job, you also want to replace all the
hoses (lines?) + various seals around the gas tank. I believe Ken doesn't
have a kit for that, but lists (and can sell you) what you need on his tech
pages, along with instructions.

Is this correct?

And Ken, may I suggest you improve your kit by selling everything one needs
to replace fuel lines, bumper to bumper, except maybe for the cross-over
pipe with two tees above the fuel tank, which is expensive. You could have
it as an optional item.

I'm sure people would like that:  In goes Ken's kit, out goes potential fire.
