Default Fyi for people using fmu's (or anybody who ran own fuel line)..

I just wanted to let people know to check their fuel lines often.Like the ones going from the fpr to the fmu and to the return line etc..
Reason being i started smelling gas inside my car when i would boost, it turned out to be the fuel lines going from the stock fpr and leaving the fmu.I used quality gates fuel lines but i guess they couldn't stand up to the excessive pressure from the fmu.They started cracking (no leaks) and allowing the fumes to escape.the inside of the hose looks fine it's just the outside that was cracked.So just a friendly reminder.

Yea good point. In the summer, my fuel hose completely blew off my FMU (hose clamp broke) and I smelled fuel. There was fuel in my engine bay and leaking on the ground. Good thing I noticed it before I left my apartment complex.

hondata soon though...

Guess what? Right back at ya slick! upgrading this GReddy pos for a t3/t04e. It spools up too soon; I want to drive in the city without boosting to save gas! And lotsa lotsa top end.
