Subject:      Broken fuel line!!!
Content-Type: text/html

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>So I can't remember how many postings I have read on fuel line replacement. Of course being "the put it off till tomorrow" type of person I am I never did anything about it. I have a 87'Syncro w/203K on it, and on Wednsday I was driving to the airport in Denver to pick my wife up. I pulled over about 3 miles from the airport terminal to kill some time, and thought I smelled gas (I had 1/2 tank). By the time I got to the terminal I looked back at the gauge and I was in the red! I shut it down and grabbed my extinguisher (yes get one!!) There was gas pouring everywhere, but to my surprise and relief no fire. I was able to find the leaking line within a few minuites (while the kind police officer was stressing I had to keep my van moving or have it towed). It was a braided line running right over the middle of the engine, and it had the tinyest of a hole. This tiny whole shot out about 8 gallons of fuel in a matter of minuites!. So anyways I know a lot of you&nbsp;out there are like me! But check those lines, I got lucky!</DIV>
