How do You extend
the rubber fuel lines,ones from the fuel tank, what is the best way to extend them? I'm thinking of cutting them and placing some sort or pipe or fuel line inside and using hose clamps (don't know if it makes sense) but would it leak?
 Thanks.

Re: How do You extend
they sell fuel lines in the auto parts store you can get.. id try to keep it as much steel as you can tho.. you can use unions to joun steel lines

Re: How do You extend
on the few lines that i've kinked while screwing around with them, I've just cut the metal line on either side of the kink with a pipe cutter and relaced the section with a piece of rubber fuel line that you can buy at parts stores and put clamps on it. Never had a leak yet

Re: How do You extend
look closely at sources of rub through and ignition!!! you don't want to fix cheaply the fuel system! buy the tube bender if kinking is a problem
