So the carbed cars still had 8mm fuel tube in the tunnel? I guess it makes 
sense to standardize, but does your tunnel also have the return line that would 
only have been used on the FI?

You're right, that the tank and tunnel tubes don't have bulged ends, so the 
stretching isn't as severe. I should measure what the diameter over the bulge 
is, as that's where I seem to see the problem most often.
