[s-cars] Fuel line leak: replace or fix?

[Douglas Landaeta]

Yes, there is a write up. Repair depends on how bad it is. It rusts under the clamp whee moisture and salt can accumulate over the years.

Replace as much as time and money allows. If not too bad, replace worst section and clean up and POR15 the entire line. If one clamp area is bad, after wiggling from the repair, you could get more at the next clamp.

It's a better Spring job than Winter. If daily driver, make repairs until time allows for more full line maintenance.

Doug ('94 cleaned, POR15'ed, including tank seam, new clamps and soft rubber, all preventative, off season)
