I just turned the key. It has been about 18 months. Gas leak. Fuel lines are brittle where they attach to rubber in engine compartment.
Any suggestions to make replacing these lines from the tank back ? What type of lines to use? I am hoping to drive it for 2 more years when 2 of my college students have left my payroll. Then restore it. This is a 1975 2.0 FI Thank you and God Bless, Emmy |

Do a search for stainless steel fuel lines.
There's a couple vendors who sell them and they're well worth the price. I'd also suggest replacing the old rubber lines also "while you're in there"... |

Too many of they cars have burned up from fuel fires. If the lines are brittle in the engine compartment they are probably not much better in the tunnel. Bruce |
