PA Fuel line leaked

I tried to start my FC today & it wouldn't fire up... Actually that is a poor choice of words because the rubber fuel hose under the hood rotted & could have caused a fire. I need to do some preventive maintenance even though it has very low Mi. for the year...

Did you have a question about replacing them?

Well, yes, you'll want to replace ALL your rubber fuel lines. You will need to R&R the upper intake manifold to get at them better.

Do a search on "pulsation damper" before you put it all back together. This is VERY important!!!

Better check all your coolant hoses while you're at it. There are a number of small ones that can be troublesome.

Welcome to the club and best wishes.

When replacing the rubber fuel lines USE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL HOSE SPECIFICALLY FOR FUEL INJECTION.
