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 |

The factory engine compartment fuel hoses were not cloth covered afaik.
Pat, in addition to the stainless lines, I offer a complete package with hoses, clamps, filters & injector elbows. The one downside we've discovered with the Gates Barricade hose is that the 9.5mm size requires a rather large bend radius to prevent kinking. This can cause minor difficulty under the tank. |
