I am going to attempt to replace all my fuel hoses. I am curious if anyone has an idea how many feet I need? I was going to buy from here (http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart ... ype=NIS300) and probably get a couple of clamps just in case some break.

Also, other than fuel filter should I change out anything else while I'm doing this; maybe the fuel pressure regulator?

Thanks.

I would probably get 3' of hose. there are 2 lines that run all the way to the firewall. i used 4' in relocating my fuel lines for fuel line tuck.

Thanks for the info. I bought the hose and replaced the "bastard hose" and the fuel damper hoses and ordered a fuel pressure regulator and will do it and the surrounding hoses when it comes in.

When I started up the engine and looked for leaks the driver side didn't sound so good. If I got a video of it do you think you could get an idea of what it was from the sound in that? It has been a great car but I think it's almost time for me to move on from it if this would be a big repair.

I have done everything myself except the 1 time the AC went out and it needed a new compressor. That was the one big bill and what I would consider a big repair (me doing the shocks/struts and timing belt was big too but it wasn't forced since they didn't go out and were preventative maintenance).
