I don't recall seeing anything on fuel lines in the Bentley. I replaced my fuel lines not long ago with regular 5/16 fuel line, not knowing any better. Thanks to the list, I became aware of the problem right after I replaced them, so I kept an eye on them. Within 2 weeks the lines were bubbling up and leaking... They've since been replaced with the correct type. My question is: I've replaced all the lines in the engine space back to the fuel pump. Is there a fire danger with the return lines that go back to the tank? Or are these a little less likely to burst and cause a fire? THANKS |
