replacing fuel lines
Dunno where my fuel smell's coming from. FPD wasn't leaking, but replaced it with a banjo bolt anyway. So now I'm looking to replace my fuel lines (which look old and cracked anyways). What options do I have?

You can go to the nearest auto parts store and get some 5/16" ID fuel hose. Make sure it says something to the effect of "fuel injection rated". Napa, Kragen, and just about every other auto parts store will have it.
Or you can get expensive and get steel braided hose, change out the banjo bolts on the fuel rails with -AN fittings, and go that route.

Actually before you do that, check all the evaporative emissions hoses to and from the charcoal cannister, plus the cannister itself. It's job is to absorb fuel vapours while the engine's not running, so any damage will cause a fuel smell.

you could have rusted steel lines if your car has been subjected to salt and bad road contions. or your car has been sitting a while. and thier about $115 from the dealer which is the only place you can get then. but lets not hope its that. and i bought 20' of fuel injection hose for $25. but now i dont have to worry about getting more hose

LMAO at the torch, I was convinced NZconvertable that you meant get a blowtorch and start lighting fuel fumes up to find them! lol
