Re: Help changing a Fuel Accumulator

Jack,
The High pressure lines (teflon) that you describe, all DMC vendors 
sell them. They sell them without the fittings and I suggest either 
1) send the vndor your old mettal fittings and have them press the 
fittings in for you or 2) make it a little quicker by new ones along 
with the line and have them press them in. 

I would not suggest trying to press them in unless you like cursing 
up a storm, popping a blood vessle and burning yourself while heating 
the hose to soften it so you can press in the fitting. Take it from 
someone with expierience....it looks easy to do....BUT it is very 
hard.
