Yeah those fuel lines of which I speak, Saab wants a small fortune ($70-$100
Canadian dollars EACH depending on which cylinder). You might check into
replacing them with braided steel HDPE lines, according to Grunff the
threading on the fittings is common (in the UK) and a hydraulic shop should
be able to set you up fairly cheaply. Unfortunately for me we here in North
America seem to be stuck in the stone age of measurement and all the
machine/hydraulic shops are tooled up for imperial thread sizing and pitch.
Bugger.
