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 |

There's do doubt that replacing the lines with SS is a smart upgrade. But I feel it's most important to focus on the engine bay first because that's where the heat or potential leaks or ignition potentials are highest. How many fires start in the tunnel? More likely a fuel smell there would alert you in a hurry before it got risky.
Of the cars I've owned, the tunnel lines were indestructible and never a problem. Problems happen because of leaks. Focus on where leaks can happen first. |

I thought I was going to be a flaming goner! |
