Default funny story..could have blown a motor...possibly

RANT: ohk, so im on the freeway goin like i dunno, 120 mph haha ...ystrdy i had installed some new coilovers which are stiff as hell
so i hit bumps hard all the time. so im driving hit a bump and start smelln fuel
inside the cabin, motor shuts off on a incline of the frwy. im like wtf , did the battery come undone(remote locator). so as i start driftn backwards on the frwy i manage to somehow get to the shoulder. look for the problem and wallah, the fuel T for my nk kit came off. being smart, i carry 0 tools w/ me so i managed to use a bottle cap on the feeder to undo the clamp and reclamp it. start it up and its fine..get off frwy and about 30 yards and clunk , motor cuts. same prob except this time im stalled in the ghetto.

moral of story, -> have tools
-> never use the POS NX nitrous fuel T
(why the hell does nx make a T so small on both ends..its not even beveled arghh)

wow...

EXACTLY the same thing happend with my friend and i in his accord, minus the 120mph and the coilovers.

We were just cruisin in the ghetto (just got bottle filled) car stalls... we pulled into some gas station and re-attached the fuel T and tightened the **** out of it....

apparently it was too tight and the clamps went right through the fuel line, so we went to home depot, got a new T that was bigger. Worked great.

I have thought about that, but if my car gets stolen, I am out that much more stuff. I try not to carry anything of value around with me and I never leave my phone, wallet, check book etc. in my car, not even going inside to pay for gas. Its pretty sad when you have to watch your car all day every day just to make sure it doesnt get valdalized/stolen.
