Re: Fuel line

Roy:
I'm not sure whether you have feul injection or not, but on an
FI-equiped car the filter lives above the electric fuel pump in the
front, under the tank.  I've never had a carb-equiped car, so one of
the other folks will have to help you out on that if that's what you
have.  When I replace gas hose, I usually do it all at one time, that
way I know what condition it's all in.  Just a suggestion.  You might
also consider pulling the tank completely, getting the outlet sock out
and cleaning/replacing it.  It's only a buck or so for a new one, but
can save you a lot of grief in the long run, getting the sediment out
of the tank doesn't hurt either.  Not that big a job and you'll be
good for another 100k miles.
