replacing T350 fuel lines

[non_linear]

Hi
Having seen the recently reported Tuscan fire and a number of forum posts about cars of my age (2004) having deteriorated fuel lines I am considering replacing them. Has anyone done this and how easy is it? I'm thinking of going the PTFE lined route. Has anyone experience with this?

thanks
Stuart

Mmmm, makes me wonder whether I can be arsed. Did you need yours replacing or was it precautionary? What state were the originals in?

cheers

Given the possible consequences of a leaking fuel line I would have hoped they replaced both feed and return, unless they are made of different material, which seems unlikely. My car is over with Sussex TVR next week, I'll get John to have a good look at the fuel lines.
I know the lines are meant to be a service item. Does anyone know at what interval?

It's the bio-ethanol that is in Premium Unleaded (95 RON). If you only use 97 RON you won't be affected, but that may all change in the future. Nylon looks to be much more resistant to ethanol than rubber, but there is an interesting article in the link where the makers of SU carburettors are saying avoid Nylon. For now I'll start using 97 RON and replace both lines with PTFE in the near future.
