944 turbo fuel pump hose replacement?
I changed the fuel pump check valve and noticed the 4" hose was kinked and fuel is probably getting quenched. It looks like straight fuel hose was used when it was done b4. I've got plenty of straight fuel hose but it seems it would be better to have one with a bend in it--but Pelican doesnt sell it. Suggestions?

You could do what the PO of our Chump Car did. . .heater hose!
(and this was NOT his stupidest move)

I don't know what that last post has to do with this thread, but if it is the short hose that goes from the filter to the metal line leading to the front of the car, they DO have a habit of going to sht, long before the other ones do. A straight piece (of 3/8" FUEL line) will work fine, as long as it is long enough so as not to kink. When the car is running, the pressure of the fuel will widen it up where it flattens around the bend.
