Subject: fuel line replacement
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
hey collective wisdom
replacing the fuel line on the 87 syncro I sold my friend. anyway--how many
people replace the small line from rail to injector--ie--the fuel injector
line? I know its preinstalled on new injectors. should I be replacing it?
and what is the favorite method of removing the old and installing the new.
I got the "kit" from ken at van-again (thanks ken) and he says to cut the
metal ferrel off the injector, but I know I have seen other methods here
that are less obtrusive. that and I cant find my dremel--another tool
borrowed out I guess. I am replacing the injector seals as well (is this
also advisable in your opinion?) seems to be advisable since your in there
messing with stuff--and they're only $4. anyway--like to hear favorite
methods or voodoo chants on the subject of replacing these lil lines.

ps--line looks old and scary. remember the van I was looking at the other
day that developed a leak in front of my eyes. it got me riding her about
changing these things. this van may not be mine anymore--but I still get to
wrench on it
