Saab solved that problem on the 99s and ur-900s - the plastic fuel lines ran inside the car, under the back seat and up the left-side rocker panel. On my '81 900T the lines ran right next to the rear

I've got a 50ft hosereel and a 40ft cordreel (both Harbor Freight items) way up on the wall next to the door at the back of the garage. It's very nice to have them there. The hosereel works fine; the

I'd tend to agree. It sounds like the best alternative, but I'd doubt that anything's going to work unless and until the area around the hole, the shank, and the head are clean. John. _______________
