Yeah, I can't find the TSB yet, but there was a NHTSA recall on the fuel lines back in the day, along with talk of a kit from Porsche to cut the lines in the wheel wells and replace the last section with compression fittings like all the aftermarket kits. I'm guessing that's where the idea came from. It's possible Porsche updates my lines as part of that, though I don't see it in the records for the car, and I don't see that threaded coupler as being any risk at all. Of all the places you might develop a gas leak, that seems pretty low on the list.gruhsy wrote: Fri May 20, 2022 12:00 pm I might be imagining this but I seem to recall a conversation back in 1994 with the mechanic at MCL Porsche in Vancouver talking about replacing the fuel line in my first 86 to a solid line due to it being safer in addition to the fuel rail recall.
I will have to dig through some old photos of my car from when I steam cleaned underneath it. It was the best cleaning job ever with the unit I used
On those '86 lines that you have, is the back half of the skinnier return line all metal? If so, any interest in selling it? I could use the new front half, with its new rubber, and use your back piece. Absent rust or corss-threaded couplers, I can't imagine the hard lines would 'wear out' at all?
