If this is in the wrong place, sorry.
I installed they're fuel lines last night and I must say it is a great product. It beats the hell out of trying to get the right bend on some brake lines. Plus they are stainless. They went right in according to directions and the bends are perfect. I had my motor out already but I could see doing it with the engine in place no problem. They are a bit $pendy, but if you were bending them yourself from brake tubing I could see spending a ton of time to get them right. Also whats your car worth after all the time and money you put into it. a 150 bucks is not alot of money if its burning on the side of the road.... I think the engine compartment lines could be a bit longer to reach down around the corner of the hell hole but overall I give them an A+ Thanks and I will now drive without worrying about the plastic fuel lines. |

I've had the opportunity to see a lot of the products Chris has to offer. If I still had a 914 I'd be all over these. In my last '74 the plastic lines in the tunnel failed while I was on the Jersey turnpike.
Me: Hmm whats that smell? Passenger: Hey whats this puddle? Dude it's GAS!! Me: Oh $HIT!! Jersey State Trooper: Yooze Guys Okay? Me: Yupp just fixing a gas leak. JS Trooper: I'll call you a tow truck. Me: Not necessary just finished up and we're all set. JS Trooper: You sure? Me: Yupp look no fireball Luckily I had my road bag with me which contained a few small clamps and some fuel hose. Quick patch and clean up and we were back on the road. Speaking of road bags what you keep in yours? I keep some basic tools, tape electric and duct, small butane torch, solder, hose clamps, fuel hose, extra plugs and rags. |
