I have also used Ken's kit and cannot recommend it highly enough! Even if
you could do it for cheaper buying parts on your own (which i doubt you
could), i would question the quality of the hose or clamps (we've all heard
horror stories of bad hoses failing a month or a year after being replaced).
Even the directions given with Ken's kit and the support you recieve from
him just being a phone call away is just spectacular. The important thing
is, replace you're fuel lines. At least you're on the right track. We're
lucky to have such great suppliers that assemble kits to deal with well
known problems!
