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...

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.
