Me too.  It's going back in tomorrow.  The fuel line that currently
bridges where it was is _not_ a proper fuel pipe - in the EU, tubing
intended for fuel line use has to be marked along its entire length.

I did the "total strip and rebuild" on the fuel injection yesterday,
and discovered a few interesting things.   I couldn't test drive it
when I finished (ca. 23:30) because I'd had beer or two while I was
working, so I'm out to get it off the ramps now.
