I think I started this topic awhile back when I inquired about whether the
"fuel injection" hose I purchased was necessary or not. It seems the other
store I was getting gas hoses from was selling me the regular stuff.  After
plenty of warnings and photos (thanks Ben) I decided to change all the
lines. I ordered the kit from Ken Wilford but chickened out when it was time
for me to do the install. I could already see myself breaking the fuel rail.
The tow would have cost me what the mechanic would charge to do it. I took
it to my mechanic (who generally rolls his eyes when he sees my van coming
in) and actually said it was a good idea to replace them.  When I spoke to
him yesterday he said some of my old lines just "crumpled" off the
connectors as opposed to having cut them off.

Quote from my mechanic "That was a good idea to replace the hoses, these
things burn up all the time."

I'm glad I changed them.

Thanks again to this list.
