I'm glad you mentioned this.  In my 4ktq I ran AN fuel lines through the
interior and have never been able to track down a fuel smell that has
been driving me nuts ever since I put in the fuel lines.  Given this
info I may try to route the lines under the car again..  I think I'll
try to use the AN braided hose and just come up with a mounting system
that will grab the nubs used by the stock clamps.  Either that or maybe
hard stainless line would fit better... hrrmm..
