Brian,

I will replace both of those hoses, but wouldnt they be porous and wet if that is where air is coming in.

Added info. I just had the car for a drive...had it up to 90 mph...seemed ok, but then when at idle, same old thing...fuel starved, air bubbled into filter, etc. !?!?!?!?

This really stinks!!! Figuratively and literally with all the fuel everywhere11

Thanks,,
Mark
