I have 2 inches of pipe coming from the fuel pump followed by 6 inches of
hose bridging a 2-inch gap in the tubing ending about an inch before the
bend to over the intake manifold. I have been told I need to replace the
line with a solid tube.
I have also been told to replace the clear plastic fuel filter just below
the pump.
Do I really need to?
