Thanks for the reminder- will be looking into it this winter.

While we're at it, anybody have a quick link, showing exactly what lines you change, and where to get which exact parts?

I know a thing or two about 944 engine fires...

Here you go Butters. http://www.rennbay.com/fuel-lines-c-35.html

Thank you very much!!!

Any way to do this and not cost me $130?

I am in the process of making a list for Santa and fuel lines are an important component. I was under my car yesterday and noted a line going from the fuel filter to a hard line to the front I believe. Obviously not a fire hazard as much in this location but the line looked pretty bad. Any replacement lines for this or is this just something I find at an auto parts store? Robstah are you implying there is something wrong with the rail itself as a fire hazard or just the lines leading to/from and around it?

If it's a soft line then it's a potential failure point. I've seen multiple cars that had the jumper line on the verge of failure and it wasn't apparent until the line was removed. Yes it's expensive to replace them (~$250 for everything) but that's less than 5% of the value of most of these cars and cheap insurance. Fuel-based fires are NOT fun.

Let your car burn to the ground and have insurance pay to fix it.

There is that pesky problem of covering the deductible so you pay either way.

You could always build your own instead of using a pre-made kit. It requires more research to know what parts you need and involves a lot more work but it can save you some money.

i was just looking into building a SS kit for my 88 924s. some guy on here was making kit a while back but i cant find the link right now but if you search SS fuel line kit you will find some post that tell you what size fitting you need. the hardest parts is getting hold of the metric hose ends by the looks of it. here are some options i was looking into but still not cheap

i would love to get a few good minds on this and see if we can make up some kits for rennlisters. the only thing i dont think you can make yourself is the damper line but they can be had for around 30 bucks.

I made my own, but after the cost of the fittings and hoses, I don't think I saved any money over the Rennbay cost.

Yes.

Cut the crimped fittings off the stock lines, then replace hose with HP FI hose from any local supplier. Do NOT use ring clamps though. Get the t-style clamps meant for FI hoses.

Cost should be under $20 total, although I haven't priced the bulk FI line lately.

I've replaced a few around here using the same kit I use on the 928's. J30R9 hose, EFI clamps and using a dremmel to cut off the factory fittings. Had one dude show up to have me check it out and I could smell the gas. Popped his hood and it was pooling on top of the engine. Guy lucked out.

The Rennbay kit is great, as is Travis. I also heared the lindsey kit was nice as well http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944FUELLINES.html . ArnnWorx sells the fittings if you want to DIY, but I would just buy the Rennbay kit. Someone else already did the hard work, and the you get the piece of mind. http://www.arnnworx.com/catalog/

CRA$H where in Colorado are you?

are you guy redoing the dampener or just the feed and return lines

I'm in Broomfield.

I did both the feed and return lines, but not the little dampener line yet as mine seems to be holding up ok. I expect I'll be doing it too eventually assuming the fittings are similar, but I haven't seen one disected yet, so I'm not sure if there's any problem reusing those fittings.

I also don't want to take anything away from Rennbay, Lindsey, or other suppliers of the pre-made lines as they are quite nice.

My motivation came from a fuel leak (ya don't say..) and an immediate need to resolve it. I honestly didn't think it would be so easy to fix. Otherwise I certainly would have bought one of the vendors kits.
