2. Fuel Hoses (Check Condition)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the surface of fuel hoses for heat and mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deterioration of the rubber.
- If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed by cracks and abrasions in the fuel system, the hoses should be replaced.
