    Hey guys,

    Just noticed from the fuel filter there are 2 fuel lines going into the passenger side of the motor with foam sleeves over them (looks terrible) but on the fuel pump the lines do not have these on them.

    Can they come off, I'm guessing they are protection from a heat source?

    Sorry no pic, camera easy share won't load pics with memory card or usb attached to camera and computer, anyone know why :confused:

    Thanks.

    Correct. Just protection from sharp edges and rub through. You can take it off I'd just make sure tere was nothing rubbing the line.
