Fuel leaking - again - check those lines!

Thats 2 sets of fuel lines leaking in 10 years or so, this can't be right! Not going for braided next, need to find a fuel line that's up to the task.

Lucky for me I had the bonnet off & was re-wiring the fans and was turning on the ignition without starting the engine. I could hear it hissing out and dripping, I assumed it was running rich when parking it up last and had ordered new spark plugs.

Just to check - is it possible to replace from engine to filter with the body on? The copper seems to disappear above the frame and below the body near the rear suspension mount.

I share the frustration shown with the r9 posting above, this braided line was from a respected supplier often posted on here, and it's the second failure, the other line was swapped out a couple of years ago for a unbraided one because of this. To the posting above it looks like its in the line above the join, I'll peel the braid back and have a peak when I remove it to confirm.

Great relies to this post I must say. Where are you guys sourcing quality fuel lines from? I feel It always seems a gamble off ebay unless you know the supplier is OK.
