I was looking under the Montero where I saw the fuel leak which went from bad to horrible. I never knew a fuel line sheds its skin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. What was left was a spongy mess of rust <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />. I bought some injector hose and new 5/16thmetal line and replaced the 3 foot section of bad. I have to say it smoothed everything out quite a bit. Still ran like crap but I swapped Mass air sensors from a spare intake and it smoothed the whole thing out a great deal. I still have a check engine light and some shaking but its almost night and day compared to how bad it was. I still have to dump the old fuel before I can really see a difference I think.
