The steel fuel line on my Dak is severely rusted and it finally
cracked where it wears against a subframe component. I'm going to
replace it with rubber fuel injection rated hose. About $5/ft. I know
I should be using hard line, but it's the reason I'm in the
predicament I'm in right now. I considered stainless lines, but those
are a PITA to work with. I don't trust aluminum or steel not to
corrode again. And I can install it in less than 20 minutes. I'm going
to strap it up well with zip ties and put some sort of sheeth over it
where it crosses hard edges and such.

Anyone else run rubber fuel hose instead of hard lines? Truck has 94
engine with returnless MPI
