I've got an 1982 Datsun 280ZX turbo. During the time that the newly
formulated gas came out (May 1996) I have replace leaking fuel
injectors,
gummed up electric fuel pump, the fuel damper, the fuel regulator, and
some short rubber hose connections in the fuel system. Except for the
fuel damper, all the other parts are original (14 + years old). A
friend of mine has a 1985 300ZX turbo. He has had a fire in the engine
compartment due to leaking lines!
So far my 1989 Chevy pickup hasn't leaked and my 1965 Tiger hasn't
leaked
but the rubber is real old looking and definitely a near future project.
