Does anyone know which fuel lines are prone to leaks that cause engine fires? My 81 Westy has three types. 1) rubber junctions - used to connect between different lines (ie fuel pump to plastic line) 2) plastic tube - used to run from the fuel pump/tank to the engine compartment. 3) metal lines - connect to the injectors. I found some dry rot on the rubber lines so I changed all of these. The plastic and metal lines seem fine. Is it necessary to change the plastic and metal tube?
Thanks,
