[doc] Re: Question Re Fuel Weep on Compression connection.........

["Mike" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good point....i will give it a clean and try and get the kink out of 
the fuel line otherwise i will have to replace the connection ...my 
new DMCH pump came with a kit of new shiny hoses and jubille 
clips...didnt really want to have to use these... btw i thought these 
sort of clips arent really designed for fuel lines?

Thanks

Mike
