    gas leak

    the small hose , about 2 inches or so, going from the fuel filter to a fuel line keeps leaking/cracking...anyone had this issue? Ive replaced it 3 times and it lasts for about 2 weeks. Any suggestions?

    I do have larger fuel injectors and a chip mapped for the bigger mustang fuel injectors, maybe causing it, but i doubt it..

    Are you replacing the hose with fuel injection rated hose? I suspect that you are using generic fuel hose which isn't rated for high pressure. The hose you want generally runs about $6/ft.

        I have this same issue.

        Does anyone have a diagram that shows how the rubber fuel line parts are organized in the vicinity of the under-car fuel filter?

            I can usually find 5/16" FI hose at NAPA and sometimes at Advance.
