Subject:      Fuel line replacement questions
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Dear List:

I want to replace ALL the fuel lines between gas tank and engine in my
'86 Westy.

What's the story with that hard plastic line the runs most of the distance
from the fuel filter to the firewall?  Never seen such stuff.  It looks kind
of fragile (I expected metal line).  Should I replace that stuff, too?

How about the return line?  Is doesn't look to bad, but it's under high
pressure, too, right?  So (at 16 years old) should be replaced as well?

For the record, the short piece of hose between the pump and filter looks
like it could collapse under its own weight, but all the more obvious and
visible lines look fine pretty good.

Any other advice on this project would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
