No fuel = good mpg yes? :lol:

Had to take off work for school, so I figured I would relocated fuel lines in my free time.

1/2 inch drill bit, and a little work with a dremel... no angle grinder needed... :mrgreen:

Tucks away nicely under the wheel well cover. I routed the EVAP line behind the intake, so rest assured my car is green. :rofl:

Bad idea as it sits. You NEED rubber grommets around those holes.

Yea, I have a rubber hose line around both of them. Not to worried at the moment.

The metal will slice through the hose and the lines. Maybe not too quickly, but it will. Get a grommet, and some black RTV to fill in between the lines to make a good plug.

Ok ok ok, geez, its like your looking out for my safety or something nonsensical like that... ;)

I just ran out of time and wanted to snap some pics for you guys. After the meeting at school I will run to NAPA in my saturn and get a grommet.

Happy? :)

Concerned about your safety? Sure.

Trying to avoid the ton of whiny posts about "OMG my fuel line ruptured I hate my car"? Sure.

It looks half-ass-ish, no doubt. I thought I saw kits to properly repair lines like that, maybe you can shorten them so they are not so, um, what’s the right term, amateurish? Yes, that will do.

Beware, if it catches fire there will be a motivational poster about you...

whats wrong with looping the lines? there is the plastic inner fender there to handle any funny business.

^^It's half-assed.

How are you protecting them so they don't get a hole rubbed in them?

why didnt you delete the hood release and put it under there too?
LTb1ow
08-18-2009, 04:16 PM
Its all good now, I had a banana for lunch so I just wrapped the lines in the peal. Should be set now.

you could also get away with squeezing your brake lines through those holes while your at it
LTb1ow
08-18-2009, 05:06 PM

08-18-2009, 05:14 PM
hahahah... make a plate and stick it over it... thats what im probably going to end up doing... although now that its painted what i did do doesnt look as bad... but i still dont like it.... but you deff have to open those holes alittle more and put a grommet in those.... it will tear through it...
LTb1ow
08-18-2009, 05:16 PM
I put a banana peal in there. Its fine.
