Default Another Fuel Hose Reminder

Can't stress it enough.

Found this on an '86 I'm working on that has 95k on it. I barely touched this hose.

I've got a '91 coming on Wed for this, his front/passenger side hose is cracked and bubbled up. If that one is bad, you know the rear ones are worse. Will post pictures of it when it gets here.


Please guys, change your lines.

Thanks for the reminder. I do have an earlier car that needs the rubber hose that passes the right manifold.

Funny how that happens, the more you dig, the more you find.

I replaced mine from a Roger kit six or so weeks ago. Pulled off the air cleaner box this last Saturday just to look at them again and say "hi". All's well and will stay that way.

isn't clear tape better?... you know, so you can see the crack growing and cut that section off before it starts leaking again?
