i'ma save u from alot of trouble, and possibly your life, lol. if i really need to replace your fuel lines, use steel line and a inexpensive, High Pressure inline filter, easy to find a a parts store. that filter is only good for maybe 15 lbs pressure, and not that great of a filter, that and rubber hose wont hold up well, and can easily get pinched off, and/or ripped and torn off. if u must use hose, use as little as possible. hope it helps....

The factory designed the filter and lines to work as is. There is no need to change anything, leave it as it was intended to be.

so get another one they are really not hard to find.. get a brand new oem fuel filter and call it a day.. btw its really not gonna look all that clean, cuz you still got the clutch lines, vacuum, so on and so on.. so its really not gonna make a diference.. but anyway to each there own..

If tuckin is what you want do steel braide lines and AN fittings. Do NOT convert them to rubber hoses on High the pressure/feed line. <thats asking for trouble.
