        Tony, that's the fuel line  firewall interface that I and others have
been posting about to remove before it  disintegrates and causes an engine
fire.  See the archives.  There are  a least a million posts about this.  Just
remove it and run a new piece of  fuel line from the T junction to the plastic
line on the front side of the  firewall passing through the hole in the
firewall left from the removal of the  plastic fitting.  Use either a grommet or
fuel line cover protector to  protect the new fuel line from being cut by the
metal edge of the hole.   So, here's the story one more time for the archives.
Getting to be just as  prevalent as the tire story.



>>>>>>In the included link, what is the plastic white  piece that goes across
the
body and connects the fuel line on either side  of the engine bay?
Does anyone have a part number or appropiate  name?
