Looks like the Previous Owner of my car used the rubber fuel lines in the center channel of the car instead of the hard plastic lines or stainless steel replacements. How big of a problem is this? I have to do a clutch tube repair so the car is off the road. I really don't have the $$ right now to put in new fuel lines but If thats what needs to be done I'll just have to find a way. Any thoughts? just trying to sort through this car and keep it on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Any idea as to why this would be a problem. Trust me I'm uneasy about it and don't doubt that its not optimal, just wandering why.

QUOTE(ezbngreen914 @ Dec 8 2011, 07:30 PM)  Any idea as to why this would be a problem. Trust me I'm uneasy about it and don't doubt that its not optimal, just wandering why. A few things off the top of my head: Moving parts that could possible cause wear to hose: shift lever & rod, throttle & clutch cables and heater lever. Hose could chafe against sharp edges inside the tunnel. All rubber hose deteriorates over time and will eventually leak. You can not easily inspect the hose for damage or deterioration. A fuel leak in the passenger compartment is really bad! Jim |
