[s-cars] Fuel Line Safety?

[Dave Forgie]

Sorry but I just realized something after I replied to Cody's email about Hap's new fuel reservoir:

When the car was designed, it likely needed the braided lines to give enough flex during a front-end crash so that the fuel filter and fuel lines were not damaged and the car could meent TUV and US and Canadian DOT requirements.  The "KY" fuel line replacement was with "hard" piping.  Hmmmm.  So would the car still pass the same front end crash requirements as it did with braided fuel lines?  I wonder.  Future law suits in the making?  Hello Mr. Audi?
