Re: Cleaning fuel lines
Jagarra,
Now that you have removed rubber fuel lines to solve one problem, I want to warn you about another. I put some "new" rubber fuel lines on my 64 GMC pickup last year, and they are already turning into mush and leaking. I did the exact same thing on a 66 GMC truck using fuel line from another parts store that seems to be holding up fine. I am guessing that there is a difference in the way these rubber fuel lines are reacting to the new gas formulations in California. So it is worth checking to be sure that rubber fuel lines are compatible with new gas before buying them. And the same can be said for rubber parts in other fuel line components, such as fuel pump diaphragms and the gaskets for filter canisters. This is just another example of my growing list of learning things the hard way.
