4k fuel lines

[Kneale Brownson]

You can get fittings and replacement metric fuel lines from GOOD FLAPS
stores (usually not the "big name" franchise stores).  There also are
high-pressure flexible (as in rubber) fuel lines.  My 200q20v has the
flexible line replacing its supply fuel line the entire length of the
portion of line held in those rubber clamp fixtures where the metal lines
all rust.   The high pressure stuff requires special  hose clamps.  I
wouldn't use the standard fuel hose except as a temporary patch for a very
short stretch of line.
