Under the car there are generally four lines. Two fuel lines and two gas lines. These lines are never available from a dealer, or parts store. I have installed dozens of them, and we make them from bulk tubing. This is a simple job when the are is on a lift, but much more difficult if you have to work from a creeper.
The brake lines and fuel lines use the same material. The parts are cheap, and they don’t take long to replace. I’ve suggested that we bring the car to a mechanic and have them do the repairs. I estimate the repair at $200 to $250.
Otherwise this car is working well.
I hope that this car is brought to a local mechanic for an estimate BEFORE we decide to discard it and buy anther vehicle whose condition is unknown.

PS: I would do it for the club at my shop, but the cost of towing the car to Chicago and back would exceed the price of having the car repaired locally.
