No pictures... I haven't been under the car since this was done. Rarely am I under a car and have a camera.

What they used is a nylon tubing made for fuel lines (I don't know a brand) that they have the tools to heat and properly form the bends matching the original lines and use the original hangers. (no zip tied hose strapped somewhere to the frame) Basically it's like the nylon pre-formed kits, but they make it themselves in house.

It's central Ohio, they do a lot of this stuff...

Evidently, all of the connectors are available from any store that stocks Dorman products.

I had mine fixed about a year ago and somewhere on this board it was suggested that we call gm and report that this was a problem. I also read that we should notify the national transportation safety board and let them know so that maybe this will be part of a recall.
