Re: Coupe GT Fuel Filter R&Repair

[Todd Young <tyoung@wamnet.com>]

If you're thinking along the same line I am. You cut off
an appropriate section of fuel line (with the new flare nut)
and then use an excellent grade of flexible fuel line to
connect the "new" line to the "old" line, which is cut off
to the appropriate length. One hint, use two hose clamps
at each end of the flexible hose with the screw barrels at
a 180 degree seperation. This is an old trick for auto trans
cooler lines.
