....  Had this prollum on my 5ktq......  you can use stainless covered fuel
line as a fix (double up the hose clamps tho), but given the hi system
pressure, you prolly want to get the RR kit.....  It gets you both feed and
return lines, from the cumulator to the engine bay, incl the rubber
gaskets....  They just press onto the pins on the underbody and is not a big
project as one would think
