I see a few companies are selling new stainless steel fuel lines, new fuel lines on our 50 years old cars is generally not a bad idea, but how about if they appear to be in good condition? The feed line on our car is about 10mm OD with a 1mm wall. While we are in there should they be replaced for good measure.
Thanks |

When they rupture, you get an engine fire. Been there, done that. Don't want to have another engine fire. Replace them with the Tangerine racing kit. It fits well and works great. Clay |
