Thanks . I've changed so much on my car the possible surprises that I expect actually are scaring me.Now the fuel hoses are suspect. I bought Russel and Earls parts last year and couldn't tell you now what is where.I'd bet that there is another brand of hose that would fit your fittings If replacement is crossing your mind.I changed to a return system and have a small attached garage and gasoline fumes or even smell is a concern.I also used a pile of conicle seals to ensure the connections don't leak. Is it possible that the smell -fumes could be leaking from any of the connections just small enough to not puddel? Ive grown to be a beleiver in conicle seals. I discoverd them while working with M1 tank engines. They use a lot of SS and those 19 year old GI's with buldging mussels and long wrenches would end up galling the connections.I now recamend them . I have since been succesful in stopping many fluid leaks on other vehicles that couldn't be stoped but a reason for the leak was not appearant.No damage to the sealing surfaces .they were surtatnly tight enough but would still seap fluid.use the correct conicle seal and just a little tightening and no leak.
