Default Bubba's been here and he left his card..

Whilst dissasembling my engine, this is just one of the "gems" bubba left to tip me off that he had worked on my car sometime in the past. Check out the fresh custom fuel line:



Increased fuel flow due to the vortex design. You know. I don't recommend you try replicating the design.

Very common. Make sure you don't do it yourself!

In any case, methinks a new fuel line is in order here...

Mine twisted up like this when I was taking it apart. I wound up with braided SS lines. Should never have that problem again.

What bothers me most is A.) I didn't notice it before now. and B.) I know this can happen, it has happened to me before, but I NEVER leave it like that. At least try and straighten it out a little.

that goes with that in line fuel gizmo that spins the gas so you get better gas mileage and more power....thats the "pre bend" that starts the rotating of the fuel....thats a very desireble option....
