[200q20v] fuel link leak under pass front door

[Chris Covington]

Thanks Bernie, I think I'm going to go with the compression coupling idea
if I can find one, if not I'll go the rubber tube and hose clamps
ghetto route.  Does anyone know the exact OD of that fuel line?  Probably
some exotic metric size that the plumbing shop or whatever shop won't
have.
