Wow, there is so much wrong with the pictures I dont even know where to start. First the black teflon braided line should never be used under the car. Debris can puncture the line and cause a fire. Second that line with three hose clamps on it is absolutely unacceptable. That is a accident waiting to happen. The jacket on that line is not supposed to be crimped by hose clamps because the jacket moves independent of the rubber hose. The jacket and clamp can slide back and then the hose blows off. In the pictue with the Y fuel line one of the smaller lines they left the black electrical tape on the line. The tape is wrapped on the line to prevent fraying when the line is cut but the tape needs to be taken back off before the line is swedged.
This is important and you might want to do this to the new line. Anytime a line is zip tied to another line, bracket or whatever it should be done like the picture I am attatching with another zip tie to seperate the line so no chaffing happens.
And never use teflon tape on the threads of a AN Flared fitting, it is a straight thread so if the taper starts to leak the teflon tape will do nothing to stop the leak. Only on a taper thread should teflon tape be used.
Oh yea and they punctured the mesh filter in the bottom of the bucket because they were too lazy to take it out first before they drilled it. A Uni-Bit would have made nice holes.
