These new fuels are extremely hard on any type of rubber hose, and the last thing you want is a fuel leak under the hood on the pressure side of the system.

I've had several customers call the shop this year alone with stories of nearly burning their vehicles to the ground when they developed leaks with these new "fuel injection" systems. They are high pressure and even worse when you develop a leak someplace after the pump.......Cliff

Not just cutting the factory steel line, BUT putting a clear PLASTIC drug store filter inline. You can buy metal filters. Lots in line fuel filters you'd buy came with short pieces of rubber hose and the spring clamps. They did this, because Chrysler products used this setup......from the factory...LOL
