While working on my rear brake, I thought I would inspect the fuel filter on my 1989 Buick Sword Custom 3.8 L...:cool:

Wow...was I surprised...:eek:

This is going to be a "Bear"...to say the least... I'm thinking a complete rebuild due to the rust conditions & location of the other 'service line' present in the confined area...:(

Anyone else tackled a similar project...? Sources for good gasoline line & connectors...?

I'm thinking I may have to replace the return lines of gas to the tank (gas vapors & vacuum?)...not yet sure what all these might be or their condition...I just kinda back peddled when I got my 1st assessment....:confused:

Your thoughts & experiences will be greatly appreciated...:cool:
