Chris,

I had the same problem on my S4... and I mean EXACTLY the same.  I am thinking
that this may very well be the next area of concern for owners in the snow
belt.  For what it is worth, my car "grew up" in Michigan.  I took some photos
of my sick looking fuel lines and hope to put them on the S-Car site sometime
soon.
