In Response To: Murphy's Law rears its ugly head...again (STeveZ)

I have 210's and the length of the lines do not make a difference. Mine have pressure crimped fittings on either end that get threaded on at both the filter and the lift pump. I would be uncomfortable with push on/clamped fittings on my fuel lines as should they ever loosen up a little and a bit of air finds it's way in, the fuel will run back into the tank when sitting during the week. I went nuts trying to solve why the engine would start up then die. Had to bleed and pump up the fuel to start again, then it would run fine all day...until next week. If your installation needs right angles, I'm sure threaded versions are available. Walter
