Install new fuel fill deck fittings on my 1986 390EX. The fill and vent hoses are original and date stamped 1/86. They are marked J1527 fuel and alcohol rated and are not cracked. They are a ***** to remove from the top of the tank with little room to work and will most likely result in much fowl language and a knuckle or two. What says CSR pay the price or let them go? :huh:
 
I had a 1992 290DA. A few years back I was in one of my "moods" and decided to change out some fuel line (preventative maintenance). It looked okay from what I could see but figured it was getting old..

Here is what it looked like under a clamp at a bend......wow.
