RE: [T3] fuel line replacement

[RJ Latherow <RJLATHEROW@atlantic1.com>]

You CAN repplace the hoses-  I had to do this recently.  That pesky crimp
really sucks, but if your carefull you can remove it and the hose and clamp
a new one on there.  There was a recent post about how someone did this-

I take the high speed grinder, gently slice down the crimp aways, the grab
the needlenose and turn and turn like i'm opening a canned ham.pops right
of, no problems....
