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 |

Bit of two sides of the fence for this question, some like Capt Crusty (rip) and myself believe if the lines are in good condition, in a good condition car, then they are fine to leave alone.
But in your case extensive strucual metal repairs and the lines have been removed or molested I agree that replacement is prudent. |
