Default Hoses

I think what you are talking about are fuel lines. The early model C5s had 2 fuel lines (one for supply and one for return) and the later models only 1. The early models with 2 fuel lines are actually better if you build a motor with a lot of power because it has the ability to supply more fuel. I think you may be describing the lines on the wrong side of the motor. When you give a left or right side description you always use from the back of the car looking forward as your reference point.
