I found that the 7.9 mm is a bit easier to fit onto the fittings than the 7mm, even the 7.9 will be tight here and there (the t near the oil breather for example) This high pressure fule line is $2.99 a foot and the hose clamps for fuel inj. are $2.99 for 4 at your basic parts store. I did not replace the small lines going from the fuel rail to each injector, but I do have extra hose/clamps if it starts leaking. I only did up in the engine area. it's plastic from there to the fuel filter then it seems like the diamater of the line gets larger from the filter to the gas tank. You can do it. Good luck Rob |
