For years, I've installed elbow style fuel injector hoses from Automobile Atlanta on my Type IV engines. (http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Fuel-Injector-Line-Elbow-Parts-PN-B043133387.html)I'm wondering if anyone knows of another source for these.
The reason I'm looking for another source is because I ordered these on Jan 24, but still haven't received them. I called last Monday and was told that AA actually makes these in house and that they would make sure to make me a set that day and ship them ASAP. When I still hadn't seen a shipping notice by Friday, I wrote AA and received a reply stating that I should not have been told that since they are out of stock and have no E.T.A. for new stock. |

I agree, there are no leaks of gas from dripping under the car, seems to be running very rich

Often times you will not see dripping, it is more like fuel weeping, vapors escaping through pinholes and cracks where it will evaporate before you ever see drips. If you park it in garage overnight and smell fuel in the cabin the next morning, that should not be happening. Likewise, if you have an electronic AC sniffer, those are great for finding leaks. You will find tons of great info here with lots of people willing to share expertise. Welcome to the club! |
