best way to go. That thin plastic tube is now over 30 years old, and has
had gasoline (with all sorts of additive over the years) in it, and oil
grease and heat all over it. If I still had one, I would change them to
metal. I did on the Opel I mentioned earlier. I was having to relocate
the
plastic line into a new clip, when I flexed it just a bit. It snapped
clean, and began to empty the 11 galon tank all over me. I jammed a twig
in
it, and measured the length of tubing I would need. Took a couple of
hours,
but didn't leak anymore. It also gave me pice of mind know that it was
replaced."
I'm going to go with the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I
have the plastic/nylon line and have had no problems moving it and no
leaks. I even spliced in an electric fuel pump down on the cross member,
and it seems happy as punch.
