[QUOTE="slatonp4, post: 1344250, member: 88581"] First of all, thanks for that Infrared! Hard not to call yourself out when you do something retarded, though. Still...thanks! For anyone who is interested, probably better not to try the heat gun approach. I went ahead and tried it and the hose melted pretty easily. I'm going to try a piece of braided hose with hose clamps attached to the end fittings. I scored the factory hose to get it off the fittings. I was very careful, but still ended up nicking the little O-rings on the fitting. The factory hose reminds me of some PEX water lines where the hose is expanded, the fitting inserted, and the hose allowed to shrink back onto the fitting. Not sure if that is actually how they do it, but looks like it might be. So, assuming I can find a couple of the right O-rings and the right size hose, I should be able to get some fuel to the engine again. I'll see if I can figure out how to post some pictures. [/QUOTE]
