How can I tell if the tunnel fuel lines have already been replace? Someone messed around with something in my tunnel. There is a large opening cut in the top of the tunnel near the front of the car and the existing service opening in the rear of the tunnel has been "expanded". The firewall in the engine compartment where everything comes out of the tunnel looks messed with too...tho it's hard to tell because it's so gooped up with undercoating.
It looks and feels like the lines in the tunnel are copper coming in from the engine compartment side, but somewhere near the front of the tunnel they feel like they turn into plastic (or rubber). It feels like a very smooth transition...almost like the tubes were butted up against each other and taped! The plastic tubes feel smooth and solid and flexible...not brittle. What were the original fuel lines like? |

Early cars had plastic lines that are semi-transparent with a yellowish tint to them, later cars had black plastic lines.
The stock plastic lines go all the way from the front under the tank to the back inside the engine compartment. Anything other than that is not stock ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
