In the One Thing Leads to Another department:

While working in and around the fuel pump replacing the chassis harness, I felt 
a cool sensation on my wrist, much like the wind blowing through your hair on 
ride with the top down, which I'm NOT going to be doing for awhile because I 
now have a pinhole leak in the fuel line. 

Fortunately, the leak is in the hard line between the pump and the engine. 

While on the phone with Moss I decided to order the tank-to-pump line and 
replace them both but it's NA. 

Any suggestions on replacing the front line? It looks like I can easily remove 
the original intact and use it as a template.

The original line is held in with P-clips, not the "Clip - Pipe to Chassis" in 
the catalogue. I'm assuming it's simply a model difference and correct on my 
car.

Most importantly, what do we do if the tank-to-pump line fails? It's just as 
old and fragile.

It looks like for the second year in a row I'll be driving the Blazer to Brits 
by the Sea next week.
