[s-cars] How to patch leaky gas line?

[Richard Beels]

Check the master list's archives for my post from a year or so ago.  I
didn't make flares as the guy in your link did.  I used fuel pressure hose
(rubber hose with fiber/thread reinforcements) and double-clamped them on
the high-pressure lines.

Pretty easy to do if you can cut out the bad part and bend the piece to fit
on the workbench.....
