Look at the hours most Napa stores are open vs the others. A good parts man doesn't want to work 7 days a week until 9pm.
So today's adventure gentlemen, I will share.
Subject: Hard plastic fuel line (high pressure)
NAPA failed. Either too lazy to look or just dumb. Once again I am reminded you gotta ask the right guy.
However, I will get the youngster a B- for being persistent and finding me some Viton O rings.
Off we roll to ..................... Little Mexico.......erh....... Advance. So the little Mexican lady that waits on me is so pleasant as usual, I can't be upset. She told me up front they did not have what I wanted. I will give them a B+. BTW she also recommended the junkyard. Score. A-.
Sometimes a walk at Pull-a-part on a hot summer day does a body good. Sweat out all that toxic junk. I have come to find some of the best advice at the junkyard from fellow junkers. BTW, the chics coming to the yard today were smoking. Yes, fine ladies. I diverge........ find the Henry Ford products I am after, proceed to the cashier. ...."two fuel regulators ...... see its right here in the picture book." No honey these are quick disconnect fittings. I had to do the "hey man" to a fellow junker .......are these fuel regulators?? No brother, quick disconnect fittings. At last, parts Nirvana.
The quest is complete and installed for $11.92. I can sleep tonight.

Wonder why the treatment?
Beats me, but go in their store sometime and see what you think. Of the wrenchs I know, most avoid them or order and have it shipped rather than go in.
And Jegs has better prices, but they aren't local.
I bet there theft rate is crazy high. There are a lot of people who spend every dime on racing and people will do stupid stuff to get their next fix.
Never had any issue, do you look suspicious?
Never had a problem at Summit either. But I always park just outside the main door and leave my engine running. You gotta be quick.
