I know I may get a lashing for asking this but with a budget in mind. Would there be any issues with replacing the hard plastic lines with rubber lines? I know I could use electrician's fish tape to pull it through into place. My worries are the grommet area (where the hose would pass through the body panels) rubbing or kinking the fuel line. I am exchanging the current 1.8 four, for a 2.7 six.
Any thoughts? |

I posted this pic a few years back on a similar thread. This is the fuel hose damage I found when I removed the fuel tank from a '74 I had just bought. The writing on the hose says "NOT FOR USE WITH UNLEADED OR GASOHOL FUELS".
