Hello John,

Rick Currington and I saw the under side of your car when it was at Craigs place. The path your fuel line takes along the main rails seems very open to impact from road debris.

I would closely inspect the entire run of the fuel line for restrictions, additionally the line seems to be 3/8 " instead of 1/2" in diameter, I'm not sure but, with the amount of fuel your car would like to have to keep running the 1/2" line or larger would seem more appropriate. The line was installed with some subtle curves in it also, this seems like it would be an opportunity for vapor cavities on the run from the fuel cell to the pump. Fuel line should be straight to avoid the dreaded vapor lock.

Look at the gremlin chase as just part of the new car wringing out process........

Good Luck,

Tony R.
