[T3] What a car!



I've been meaning to change all of the fuel lines in the Squareback.  I haven't
gotten to it, because I've been avoiding draining the fuel tank, you see I don't
really like working with gasoline.  This morning (I work a night shift) I parked my
car with 1/4 tank of gas.  When I got back in this afternoon, the tank was dry.  It
seems that my car took care of draining the tank for me, albeit in a less than
eco-friendly manner.  So now I guess I have the incentive I need to proceed with the
relining of my fuel system.  I'm glad that my car decided to nudge me in this gentle
manner rather than lighting a fire under my @$$.  I'd really be in the hot seat then.
Okay, enough with the puns.  Would someone please remind me what size (3/8" ?) and
how much, hose I need for this job?  I know I've seen that info here before, but I
have not been able to find it in the archives.  I do remember that it needs to be
able to handle at least 35 psi, but I'll probably get something rated higher just for
the margin of safety.  While I'm in there I intend to replace the bottom of tank
screen, and the fuel filter.  Is there anything else that is handled most
conveniently at this time?  Thanks for your input.
