Funny you should ask the question as I had to replace the fuel line on the Bedford CA at the week end . The rubber had collapsed preventing the pump from sucking any petrol , whether it was due to Ethanol or the fact that the pipe was over 50 years old I don't know. |

A constant worry Rick because mileage is decreasing now and the car just sits for a period of time. At a friend's house we put the XKSS on his ramp and all seems well - so far. |

At 50 years old , the rubber fuel lines are long past their use by date ! |
