Jim,
Maybe you did what I am thinking of doing. I'd like to remove all of the
rubber fuel lines in my Europa and replace them with 666 hose. I don't want
to go to the trouble of putting AN style fittings on my tank and fuel
selector, I just want to use the hose clips and barbs that are installed.
Is this what you did?
Paul
