Prevent a Disaster: The Danger of Improper Avanti Fuel Line Modifications (1974–1985)
Could a "jerry-rigged" fuel repair turn your Avanti into a fire hazard? For owners of 1974–1985 Avanti II models, an improper fuel line modification is more than a mechanical eyesore—it is a recipe for an engine fire. In this urgent safety guide, Dan Booth explains why the common practice of cutting steel lines to add inline filters or rubber hoses is extremely dangerous.
Learn about the "hose bead flare" that factory steel lines possess to keep connections secure, and why modern rubber hoses frequently fail on sharp, cut-metal edges. Dan identifies the three different factory-correct steel lines used during this era and explains the proper maintenance of the internal carburetor fuel filter. Protect your investment and your safety by replacing 40-year-old "jerry-rigged" lines with authentic NOS Steel Fuel Lines for just $100. Don't wait for a fire to find out your fuel system wasn't factory-spec.
