i know it's too small. but it could still save a car since most people refuse to carry anything.

there are 2 pound firebottles for boats that can easily be stored in our cars and used in combination with a fire retardant blanket.

the firebottles you're running sound perfect.

but having "something" on board is clearly a big jump up from having "nothing" and it could have saved this car.

You can't see what's going on in your fuel lines. Add heat to the equation and the acids formed from the addition of alcohol work even faster....
Change those old rotten lines and heat shield them.....or donate your car to fire science......

I just put our Deluxe fuel line kit on sale for $20 off until Sunday. We have configurations for the late model cars as well as both early model fuel rail configurations.

Stop burning down your cars, please.

Do you have them for the 944/1 (84' to be exact) for the same price? If so are they just a direct replacement?

Early1 is + $30 or early2 is +$15. Its on the drop down menu for the year selection.

1984 was split when it comes to the fuel rails. Early1 (1983 - 1984.1) has the feed line connecting to a metal S shaped pipe that connects to the bottom of the fuel pressure damper. Early2 (1984.2 - 1985.1) has the feed line going into the back of the fuel rail itself.
