OK, i know mazda did a recall on the 93s with high temp fuel hoses, but when i was putting my engine back together, i didn't notice anything special about the lines... and well my other rotary friends just said to use the crap from PepBoys.. the hi-temp grade fuel hose they sell there...



my question is.. do you think it is still safe? or should i go ahead and get ahold of MazdaComp and get the factory "hi-temp hoses"?



I'm not worried or anything currently, as i have been under the manifold and checked the lines from time to time and they seem to be holding up just fine.. and the motor has around 8k miles on it now.

 

get the factory high temp hoses. that is what i did....you do not want to walk out one day with some beer and have to pour it under the hood because of some stupid cheap hose that leaked and caught the manifold on fire.....that would be alcohol abuse....

use the hi-temp, or go braided stainless, better safe than sorry, imo.

 

eh, i think i will end up getting those hoses, but i think the ones that are on there now are fine, they look just like the factory ones... and are "hi-temp" and have worked for others, i guess i'll either replace those with the factory ones or do the ss braided ones later on down the line.

 

I would reuse whats there unless you see some damage to the lines, dryrot/cracking/cuts. They should be just fine. But if the new stuff is cheap and your bored.......

 

The O.E.M. ones are even more failure prone after you've taken them off and put them back on.

Get some new stuff-

 

where can u get the ss braided ones that will fit the fd's??

 

the local hydraulic hose company can assist you, it just takes time to ge them made, but is well worth it...
