Kinked fuel line.

I kinked my supply fuel line about 3-4" back from the regulator. Its the hard plastic line and I can see a small crease in it when i straighten it out. Should I replace it or will it be ok? I dont want that to be a weak spot and have it blow and burn my car down.

Check Shoebox's site for the part number for the replacment line bundle, that runs from the hardlines under the driver's side door to the hardlines at the rails. Its about $18 IIRC - cheap insurance. Better safe than sorry.

I dont know if your on a budget thing but when i kinked mine i had some customs ones made in stainless steel braided lines.

You can also do while your there the fuel line mod wich consist of passing the fuel line over the brake booster after drilling a new opening in the inside of the fender

Very clean.
