I found a source for the grommet. As for the plastic lines....I now know that they weren't meant to be taken apart. The plastic fittings and plastic tubing are what threw me. No steel banjo fittings anywhere near the fuel filters. Plastic fittings snap in place and are held with plastic clips. Kind of cheap looking actually. Not at all what I expected.
Most lines and connectors are plastic. The other end of the plastic tube that connects to the prefilter is connected to another plastic fitting just too far out of reach - intake manifold is in the way. I don't even know what part that is. I couldn't reach it with any of the tools I had. Another obstacle is that the Bently Book and Alldata offer little in the way of identification of parts. I don't even know what parts I'm looking for or at. (CD-rom ordered but not here yet)
The car is in exceptionally nice shape, runs strong, starts easily, gets good mileage. I just got it and I don't want to flip anything up.
I guess I didn't figure on having to take off the intake manifold and the washer fluid reservoir to change a 7" long plastic fuel tube with flimsy plastic fittings.
I will sleep on it a while and eventually tackle something new.
Regards.
