I was thinking of how a collapsing fuel line could cause this problem but that’s not the line I was thinking of. Wow. Imagine how much fuel goes through that little sucker! |

I was planning on asking your opinions on fuel hose to replace that. I have bought fuel hose before for random stuff from ACE, they have a good selection of hose. But when I bought marine grade for the fuel line on the 83 I went to a boat supplier and it was not cheap, but that stuff is way beefy compared to that little hose. It looks to me like ordinary automotive fuel hose.

You know how stiff those are when they are new, and I did not twist it hard to fold it like that, it must have wound up in a knot in there when the can was being screwed on. That just shows how soft that thing had gotten from sitting in the gas. Also demonstates how they are prone to failure like you guys said. |

When I bought my SS, I had a dealer replace the HPP and hose before I brought it home. I had to replace the LPP about a month into ownership. The hose is much heavier than the one yo showed us all. That thing looks horrible.

If you look at the picture it’s way harder to twist than whatever you showed us all twisted up |
