I would appreciate any thoughts as to whether I should replace my fuel lines with new or just leave alone.
I have put airline through and they seem to be ok.

Re: EL24
If you are considering replacing the fuel lines go for stainless steel.
With the government pushing for more ethanol in petrol you might as well go for something that is resistant.

Stainless steel is an excellent material but not easy to bend. You should have rubber somewhere in the fuel lines to prevent vibration cracking metal pipes and you can buy rubber petrol hose that is ethanol proof. Also copper is not affected by ethanol and is easy to bend.

Unless the original fuel line is showing signs of corrosion I would replace any rubber sections with ethanol proof rubber and stick with what you have, the original is far better quality than you will buy today, in my opinion. Syd
