I'll be having my 72 redone over the winter, and am concerned about the levels of meth in contemporary fuels and the effect n rubber-based fuel lines.
Know that this has been discussed here before, but a search lead me to nothing. Caveat: I want to keep my 72 as original as possible. So, what are the current reco's for fuel line replacement? I'll be doing the Tangerine thing, but what about the internal lines? P |

Big caveat Pat....
You could use the stock lines and replace them every two years....fire insurance. I would highly recommend the nitrile lined 3M hose. Most everyone I know is running it as has had no problems in the last three years. I know there are a couple of threads here on it. I quess if there was a way to use the woven cloth look on the new CARB rated stuff that would "look" original. Let's face it.....gas is not the same as it used to be. |
