Re: Fuel Injector flex lines

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

You are correct in that once the lines are filled with fuel whatever 
goes in comes out in equal volume. Remember not all of the origional 
lines are of equal length anyway. What you should be more concerned 
about in changing the lines is that the fuel is under high pressure 
and any leak will turn into a blowtorch. If you replace the lines or 
fittings you MUST use the correct materiels (compatible with fuel) and 
fittings capable of operating under the temperatures and pressures 
which the origional parts were capable of. Anything less and if the 
worst were to happen it is possible the insurance company won't pay.
This is another example of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".The hoses 
of the fuel system are not prone to failure, the worst that can happen 
to them short of a fire is that they can get dirty inside from dirty 
fuel. If you want to "dress up" your engine just put some kind of 
covering over the hoses.

hose size (larger inside diameter than stock), would this effect the 
operation of the system in any way?
