Marc,

Thanks for the help.

After looking at my car, and looking in the FA, I think I've determined that
I'll just replace the Feed and Return lines on the car.

Looking at your list (very helpful, thank you) I think I need the following
things...can you just read it over to see if I've missed something?

12mmx1.5 Banjo x1 (fuel filter outlet)
Fuel Filter (for the $50 I might as well do it too...)
4 Audi Sealing washers (fuel filter)
-6 Bulkhead x2 (firewall and rear of car)
-6 perform-o-flex hose x27 feet (lines, but I'm not doing fuel tray lines)
-6 barb fitting (for return line to tank)

I'm confused as to why I need a -6 to -6 union, your page lists it as "connects
return barb to return fitting" What is this for?

That above list covers everything I need to get to the firewall...but I'll
still need fittings for the CIS lines.  Your previous email states:

>My GUESS is probably either 14 or 16mm with 1.5 thread pitch.  You should be
>able to measure the fitting size pretty easily.  The thread pitch on all of
>the fuel fittings I have encountered is 1.5.

How do I measure if it's 14 or 16mm?  Is it simply the wrench size used to turn
the fitting?

Looking at the cost of this on your webpage, I think it's going to end up
outside my budget (even at wholesale) of $200CDN.  I might have to run stock
steel lines for now...but we'll see!

Thanks for your help Marc,

-Dave
