You're talking about the oil lines that run from your OMP to your oil injectors right? Those things suck....they just get old and then the slightest movement makes them disentigrate. However, my car only has 36k on it and I just removed those lines and they seemed in fairly good shape. I'll take a look at them when I get home and maybe we can work out a deal. Email me at John@twistedrotors.com.

Yeah, those supply your oil injectors with oil. You shouldn't try to run the car without them hooked up. You could remove the system completely and just run premix from now on, but that's your call. Do a search for premix and you'll find some good info.

I am a cheap ***, so I went down to my local hobby shop and bought some RC Nitro fuel line, so far it is working awsome, and I paid less that $5.00 for all the line that I needed.

j200pruf,
Might want to check, but some of the Nitro fuel lines are not resistant to gasoline and oil....

I also have a few RC's and putting it up in the heat should not be a problem... My RC engines hit around 225-325 degrees F and the fuel line touvhes the head all the time...

If you go to tower hobbies some of the fuel line will say not gas, oil safe....
