The pressure-side fuel line (between the pump and the hard-line) let go on the way home today. I had to call for the AAA truck. And the neighborhood shop did not have any 1/4" FI hose.
So it's a Subaru for me tomorrow and hopefully get 6 feet of fuel hose on the way home.
Friggin one year old FI fuel line.
OK, I'm done now.

Re: I hate when that happens
OReillys, NAPA et al carry Gates multifuel.
Modern fuels eat the "wonderful quality Original German" 7mm woven EFI hose as a snack.
I found that out many moons ago when I went to convert to EFI from CIS and the hose started oozing fuel everywhere.
(it also was ~ 1 year old "OG" 7mm hose.)

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

This was ordinary, modern 1/4" FI hose.
Modern hose for modern fuel.
OK NOW I'm done.

Re: I hate when that happens
No reason to, really. I just have a whole Subaru to drive when something like this happens.
