Fuel System Q's

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Julie - I got my fuel lines out of a 16v. Though you'll be hard-pressed to get 
them into the engine bay without the engine out (though I must admit I didn't 
have the use of a lift). The other issue w/ that lies in the connections to 
the fuel pump/accumulator/etc - the 16v lines are about a foot shorter than 
mk1 lines. I sourced an "I can't remember" combination of fuel lines (on the 
engine bay side) from Audi 5000/Quantum that helped me join it up. 

On the flip side, since you're in the NE, I'd surprised if you could find a 
set worth saving....you may be better off running new.  Ron sent me a perfect 
synopsis of how to do it. I'm pretty sure if you search the archives, you'll 
find it. But if not, shoot me an email tonight and I'll fwd it.
