Right you are, F'n'J. So many alleged car buffs are looking for any culprit other than "the nut behind the wheel," that they conveniently overlook the unsung benefits of our modern gas: less garbage, more power, burns cleaner, fewer deposits. I recall seeing 1930s and '40s engines in for a rebuild in the late 1970s, their oil pans covered an inch thick with a toxic clay of lead.

News flash: Gasoline, like motor oil, brake fluid, cooling system preservatives, ALL better today.

Another hint from Heloise: When replacing the rubber section of fuel line, as when installing an electric fuel pump to prime the system to save wear and tear on your starter when your car's been sitting, use fuel injection hose. It's a little more expensive, but it's not like we need much of it. The stuff likely good deep into the 22nd century.
