I've gone one better when replacing this little fuel line. I buy 2- 4 foot
sections of 3/8 steel brake line, and an adapter to connect them. Then I
measure and clip of the end fittings. Getting the bends right is a pain, as
is drilling and re-riveting the clips, but I have no more rust getting into
my filter. I have also acid flushed all the fuel tanks to get rid of that
source of rust.
