Try Rovers north or maybe even Atlantic British for the correct new hoses, I did mine and it is not that hard. Wash the area good before you start, much easier to do it without stuff falling in your face, since you will be underneath it. And be sure to depressurize the fuel system before you crack anything loose to avoid fuel spraying out undert pressure. A good system should maintain pressure.

Also, avoid the cheap low octane gas, use a good brand of premium. I use either Shell or Sunoco 93 octane. Saving a little bit per gallon will cost you more in the long run. These are designed to run on premium fuel. Otherwise you might as well pee in the tank. Camel **** or water buffalo **** is the best grade of urine.

Some Bacardi 151 in an emergency. Glad to see you got a good sense of redneck humour. You must be a Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy Fan as well as I am.

I saw a construction worker the other day that looked just like Larry the Cable Guy with his cut off sleeves and ballcap, except for one major difference, this guy was actually working!!!!
