Oops,  I just assumed that we were talking about bandaging COOLANT hoses.
Just re-read the original msg!!   I guess I never dreamed of putting tape
on a fuel hose, so it wasn't able to sink in the first time!   Putting tape
on FI hose is probably as effective as putting tape on a tire leak and much
more spectacular.

Agree with need for marshmallow decal.   Should come with the hose bandage
in case tape is used on fuel hose.
