Fuel lines on 87 TBI
Ok so I'm Putting my tanks back on after replacing my rocker panels and the fuel hoses from the tank to the hard lines are very hard and brittle. So I bought some fuel hose from oreilllys to replace them. There are three different sizes coming from the sending unit. So I got two foot of each. But I didnt get fuel injection hose. Do I need fuel injection hose and if so, do I need it on all three lines?? Also clamps, do I need fuel injection clamps. My old lines are double clamped at each end, I dont know if thats factory or not. Please help asap, I know this may seem trivial, but I had a gas leak in a car that burned our house to the ground. Me my wife and my kids barely made it out, so I am reeeeeeally weary about gas. Thanks!!

Re: Fuel lines on 87 TBI
I was once in a fix where my fuel filter clogged [TBI Blazer] so I took it out and put in a piece of Goodyear hose that literally said on it "NOT FOR FUEL INJECTION" and just one hose clamp on each end and it was alright for about 30 miles, even with high RPM's thanks to having a Muncie...

Re: Fuel lines on 87 TBI
You should put fuel injection hose on the feed and return since they have the pressure behind them. The vapor line won't matter much, but I went ahead and put it on all three for the longevity of it.
