Simple solution... Don't work on it. Problem solved.

 

Welcome to the site, you drive your car, she drives hers, happy happy joy joy!

 

Add me to the list. Smelled gas, could not see any leaks or drips, but the insulation was soaked and the line underneath rusted through

 

chck this stuff out...easy to do since both the supply and vapor lines come in sections..............also can get at Rockauto.com

Fuel Line Set Fits Chevrolet HHR | eBay

 

According to Rock Auto's description, the lines are nylon; which is sort of neat as it would never corrode. I wonder about durability in terms of getting hit with road debris? I once scrapped a perfectly nice Buick due to a trashed fuel line.

 

sure look like pre-bent steel lines...maybe just the end section where it goes to the fuel rail is nylon....??...........

 

Here's a better pic of FL255C. I think Alex has it right, steel lines with some nylon.

Here is the page this image came from, more details than Rockauto.

There is brake line material that is coated with something, it also makes it easy to bend by hand (no kinking). It is recommended if you are replacing rusted out lines.
