Fuel line...

[Derek Pulvino]

How much did you pay for the line?  I think I saw prices come in around $100 
for oem, and been putting more and more parts in that are "only $100."

My other difficualty is right now telling exactly where the leak is.  Odors 
SEEM stronger in one area that another, and my only other data at this point 
is others have had failure with the same hose.

So far for me, no visible leaks, and no apparent dust accumulation to 
indicate a leakage spot.
