Fuel Line Overhaul

[Greville Bowles]

I recommend getting some good quality fuel line hose and whatever clips or holders you need to make that work. I replaced the lines on my 90Q a while back and feel that the extra cost and effort over using the plastic was worth it. I was surprised how close the lines get to the exhaust and made sure the heat shields got put back correctly. I also added some heat shield sleeves for extra peace of mind. About $200 CAD all in.
