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)

High pressure FI hose is a little pricy. I would imagine that the PO did not use this and used standard fuel hose. This is not rated for the pressure that is is being used for. I believe the plastic will last a long time in the tunnel because is is protected from the elements better. It is the plastic outside the passenger compartment that is the first source to fail. The SS fuel lines ones are nice, safe and easy to install. Compared in price to high pressure rubber hose, the difference is not so great.
