I may need to replace the steel gas line that goes in the tunnel. I know the correct way to do it, but I'm looking for a temporary 'short cut'. Anyone have any ideas? i think i've heard of running a line beside the tunnel, what material should be used?

any thoughts are appreciated.

thanks!

my gas line does not run through the tunnel. I ran it right beside my pan bolts.

I've run a rubber gas hose through the inside of the car under the carpet along the tunnel. It's an easy temporary solution

ona 69 we sold we ran a copper line just outside the tunnel as a perm/temp fix. Ran it through grommets and used those plastic holder things screwed in every foot or so..

but I wish I would have tried this before we did that..
