Re: [T3] fuel line replacement


Glad you mentioned that, I'd forgotten about those.  Those pieces were
in good shape, but the connecting hose looked like a bloated radiator
hose I once had on a Ford with a crack at the most stretched section.
I was out in CA at the time and they'd just changed the gas
formulation(anti-smog stuff).  Lost all 4 injectors to leaks about the
same time.  Figured whatever they put in the gas, it was eating the
o-rings and hose.
