heres one for ya........ i got tired of my fuel line comming out of my exhaust and then killin the engine ( due to no pressure in the tank) so what i did is took off the pipe and feed the line all the way through the pipe on the line inside the pipe i put an old fuel line fitting inside the line then you pull the fuel line back in like it suppose to be basically wedging the fuel line between the fitting and the pipe so it seals better and also holds the fuel line .............. also the idea about the shock boots really goodbut better yet .... you can also use the fingers off latex gloves .... they tend not to rip like a ballon does
