My gastankkit1 for $103 will fix your gas tank leak problem. Then we
have the fuel1 kit for the fuel line in the engine bay for $75. I
recommend doing away with the plastic fitting on the firewall as this is
a failure point. I discuss this in the instructions that come with my
fuel1 kit. Also fuel2 is the fuel injector seal kit.$8. These kits hit
the trouble spots in the system where it will normally leak or cause a
fire. There is still a long run from the engine bay to the gas tank and
also from the engine to the fuel pump that is not covered by any of
these kits. This run is actually plastic piping that I have not seen
fail before and therefore no one that I know of sells this in kit form.
Also there is less than a meter of 7mm hose and about 24" of 12mm hose
that you will need to replace at the fuel pump, and gas tank (supply and
return). I can supply all of this and make a master kit for everything
but no one has ever requested this before. If you are interested please
pmail me and I'll come up with a price for you. If anyone else is
interested let me know as well.
Thanks,
