Fuel Leak

[Hotsauce]

You still need a rubber section at some point between the rail an the hardline at the firewall to allow for the engine torquing on its mount.

But yeah, make the final connection where its easy to access.

I was thinking of the entire armored replacement section be flexible.

I had to replace mine when it broke below the regulator. I had had the supercharger off once, and replaced the IMGs once, and the original supercharger makes 3 times that that hose was flexed a lot. It just fatigued enough to develop a leak. Anyway I ended up bypassing it as I could not get a tool in there to remove what was left of the hose. My new hose runs around the top instead of between the engine and the firewall.

Tad,
Where under the car, did you cut and attach the new hose?
Where is the stock line routed at the back of the engine?

I didn't cut the old line, I just disconnected it next to the transfer case where it transitions from rubber to steel.

The two lines come up on the top of the transmission and split. One connects to the fuel rail on each side of the engine.

Got the car back today.
Photos show the gas hose was just cooked by the EGR valve and cracked open. Four circumferential cracks show as the hose is bent.
The gas hose markings indicate that this hose was added by Alpine during the S/C install. This is after about 18 months of driving.
Next, I will replace the hose again, but with teflon lined, silicone, and metal braided hose. At least I now know exactly what is required to fix.
I do not know why I would have an especially hot condition as compaired to other S/C installation.
Tone, do you see anything unusual?
