[DML] Re: Fuel Line Problem

["Dave Swingle" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of assumptions - that this is the teflon-core hose like the 
original, and we're still talking about the hoses that go to the fuel 
pump, I have sucessfully used both boiling motor oil (Synthetic is 
best!) and my trusty $9 Harbor Freight heat gun to get the hose 
softened enough to press on the barbs. If done correctly, no clamps 
are necessary (also like the original). 

Boiling oil is a PITA and at this point I use the heat gun. Boiling 
water or a hair dryer is not hot enough.
