    Fuel lines?

    I'm going through my car looking at vacuum lines and noticed the fuel lines are cracking as well. Can I just go get the basic fuel line from a local parts store and call it good? I was under the impression that it shouldn't be used in fuel injection applications due to the higher pressure.

    You can get high-pressure rubber fuel injection lines from an autoparts store.

      They sell high pressure hose. If you're doing all the lines i suggest getting a reel from blunttech.

          You should use FI rated hose for all fuel lines since non FI hose does not tolerate ethanol. You can usually get 5/16 FI hose from Napa which will work although the correct size is 8mmx11mm. I paid $32 for a 5m spool which will do both lines in the engine compt on 2.5 cars. Works out really well if you have .5 car laying around :-)
