Replace the hose with 5/16" fuel line. Standard fuel line is rated for high enough pressure for our systems. The modern FI fuel line is needed for higher pressure systems than ours and its larger diameter which makes it hard to work with. > 2) I have never gone about this type of thing before but am reasonably > mechanically inclined.

Don't do any of this until you fix all your fuel leaks. > 3) I have the Bentley book, and the John Muir's book. Any others I should > get.
