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 |

That is a plastic fuel Y on a 13yo Cayman that cracked due to age. That Y happens to be directly over my header on the drivers side. I got lucky. Imagine your plastic at 50yo... |

Thank you for the information. Now I know if I ever buy a Cayman, (Boxster I assume also) I should check for the fuel lines... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
