Should these be replaced? The front tank on this 84 I am working on has plastic fuel lines running from the switcher valve to the sending unit with short pieces of rubber line attaching the plastic lines to the switcher and sending unit...

Should have used the brass Ferrule fittings. Ferrule fittings have the brass ring that compresses, you have to use the little brass tube that goes inside the plastic line to keep the line from crushing. Makes air tight fit.

I know what ferrule fittings are lol, the only thing left of these is the lines themselves, nothing else, I figure if the rest of the system is good enough to use rubber lines as couplers then it shouldnt hurt these...

They should still be good so no sense in replacing them.

They looked good but wasn't sure what people's consensus was on them...
