I remember reading a post about people never having taken off their rocker panels and was wondering if there were anyone else with the original fuel lines in the tunnel.
I just ordered new SS lines from Tangerine today, but was curious if I'm one of the last holdouts having milked these things beyond reason. I haven't driven this car very much in the past 10 years, so it was never a priority to me, until now. Thanks |

I installed stainless, by my own design, with the engine in place. When joining up the stainless beneath the tank, the short pieces of fabric covered hose were brittle and easily cracked off upon removal. We talk so much about the problem in the engine compartment, but the the tank end is not discussed much here. The tank lines are not stressed from heat, but from old age. Most of us don't think nor do new owners think to replace those bits of hose beneath the tank, since owners don't know nor realize how the fuel moves from the tank to the beginning of the fuel line. When pulling the old lines from the tunnel, I saw how tough and flexible the old lines were. HOWEVER the bit of exposed tubing in the engine compartment were degraded and brittle. In the end, regardless of how "healthy" you think the fuel lines are, it should be on the top of the replacement list after purchasing a teener.
