Hey there Jadavis,

I'm about to buy your Viton 606.962 O-Ring Kit and 4 ft of Viton fuel line and was wondering if you could tell me what other things you would replace. I'd like to replace as many lines as I can in one shop visit so I can just get this over with. Would love your thoughts before I order. Is there some way I can contact you directly?

Thanks in advance,

-Bill-

PS - I sent you a private message as well in the interest of redundancy.

Viton is the solution for these cars. It's highly unlikely you'll be forced to replace it any time soon.

I've tried a bunch of these model airplane fuel lines and the like and have had dismal results. Many of these claim to withstand any fuel you could throw at it. Most of them didn't even last as long as the OE stuff ...and that's nothing to brag about.

I'm sure it depends on how busy they are.

Hey Jadavis.

Do you carry the Viton hose in the correct size to go from the steel line to my primary filter?

Grease Works also has viton fuel hose kits and bulk hose. You can get hose with a viton linning, which is much cheaper than solid viton. They also sell injector return line kits, which come with a viton end cap. You'll need 1/8" for the injector return lines, as well as 5/16" for the rest of the hose.
