[Shop-talk] hard fuel line replacement

[John Innis]

Fuel Pressure on these is over 40 PSI.  I would NOT use rubber hose and
clamps for this.  It was ok on the older TBI motors that ran 15-20 PSI, but
dead head pressure on your pump is over 60, and even fuel injection hose
won't hold up to that just clamped on.  If you are going to cut out a
section, flare the ends and splice in a new section of hard line.
