Fuels lines and help identifying this part
86 951. This car sat in California for 15 years until the previous owner (original owners son) took it to a shop and had it “rejuvenated” - couple questions:
- I thought he mentioned the fuel lines were replaced but looking at these are they still factory? Does not appear to be the braided lines I have seen aftermarket.
- the component circled in yellow is dried and cracked where it sided onto the fuel pressure regulator ( I think that’s what it is). I can’t find this part online - Anyone have a part number?
- also - where this rubber part came off the back of the FBR a ti y drip of gas is going out - is that normal or is that an issue?
Thank you for the assistance!

Fuel lines
These fuel lines look very good and were probably made up in a hydraulic shop by looking at the crimps. The insulation around them looks good as well and there shouldn’t be a problem with them. Ask the PO about how long they’ve been on the car. They may not be “factory “ but the appear to be adequate for the job. As far as the hose going to the FPR, pull it off and cut it behind the cracked section and re-install until you can get a new one. Pelican has a parts breakdown on their website unless you can’t get an online copy of the PET. Hope this helps some.😀

Those look like original factory fuel lines to me. The short hose may have been the one he replaced.
That is the fuel pressure damper near the yellow circle & should not leak any fuel so needs replacing. Unless not pictured, you’re also missing the plastic vacuum tube that attaches to that 3rd vacuum port in your hand. See the vacuum hose diagram sticker for details.
Those rubber Y fittings are part # 928.573.727.02.

The damper to rail jumper hose was manufactured in 2021 (printed on the hose). The supply and return hoses appear to be original and should be replaced as matter of good practice, regardless of visual condition. Any fuel present in the vacuum fittings indicates failed diaphragms in the fuel damper / regulator.
