Engine fuel lines on the 964
Hi,
With the engine rebuild I am starting on a '90 964, I set down today and started to build an order for new rubber fuel hoses. Surely, after 16 years they are due for replacement, or so I thought before I looked at the prices. After the tab went over a thousand with several sections still to go, I canceled the order for the time being. Better rethink the wisdom of this.
With that kind of expense, it starts one wondering about replacing the lot with AN fittings and steel braided hose.
What have others done? The hoses of course are all made up of rubber sections with crimped fittings to metal tubing and nice end fittings. They are well made hoses, but it does not appear feasible to just replace the rubber. And we certainly cannot expect rubber hose to last forever.
