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? |

If you want to do it inexpensively and have piece of mind, you can goto your flaps and pick up a 60" length of flexable steel brake line and use a pipe cutter to take off the ends. File it down and flare it if you want. The 60" length works perfect. You'll need to bend/arc the lines abit inside the gas tank area with a tube bender. Easy enough to do once you run the lines through the tunnel. The line should be $5.00 each or so.
