    Thanks Jonathan! I don't think there is a great picture of all of us looking at the camera, so this will have to do, with DMCTalk usernames:

    Drove my D to work the other day, and it broke down on the way home. Humiliating.
    It just died. Would crank, but not turn over. I got a ride home and brought a gas can hoping it was a simple as my fuel level sender indicating high and I just ran out of gas. (I was just over 200 miles on the current tank of gas). Since I'm in the process of moving, all my tools/parts/manuals that I normally keep in the car to troubleshoot/repair on the side of the road were not in the car DOH! AAA towed me home.

    After the tow truck left me in the driveway, I tried starting it again, it started and died and instant later. I got out and saw fresh fuel on the ground. OK, clearly a leak. I removed the panel in the bonnet over the fuel pump, started it again, it stayed running, and I saw this:


    Woah! I've changed those lines about 5 years ago! Were they chaffing? Nope. Dry rotted? Nope. No visible reason, and I know I specifically said I needed fuel line when I picked it up at Advance at the time. I got some fresh line at Oreillys (made sure it is labeled for fuel) and replaced both lines.

    Actually, can you do one with all of our cars in the shot and VIN #s too? That would be neat. You know, since you're bored.

    Yeah, that hose works great for your lawn mower. Not high pressure injection. You must ask specifically for fuel injection hose. SAE 30 R9 type

    Hardy, har, har... For the record, I'm quite busy. Take right now for instance, I have some paint that I need to watch dry.

    I pushed mine out of the garage today, so that it could get some fresh air and sunlight.



    Actually, that's a lie. The real reason was because I needed to change the alternator on my PT Cruiser. :P
