Hi Dennis, great video compilation. I might not say much but I am always enthralled by your diligence. Both my 2010 and 2014 are at 200,000+ and 150,000 miles while running smoothly. I have noticed though that parts are getting much harder to track down and very few aftermarket parts available.

You are correct that's why I went on this campaign to fabricator because growing up in Birmingham England, I had the love for Jaguar's, so now we getting better parts made up for us

Dennis, I appreciate your YouTube videos -- well done! I'm considering going down the metal pipe path in the future.

Question on the top pic -- what is the difference between those two couplers?

I have few then laying around they both work well when I'm installing them on a members car, when you get one on the outside it has to be smooth no hanging edges, and when you put it on it must be tight and snug going on, and also get the brass bleeder screw, that I show in the video

Thank you for the fast response, Greetings to you and babs.

Do you see any reason or benefit for a product like the below to exist.

Bottom line is these engines are well made, they need good nourishment every 5000 miles
your fuel top tier with some gum out, change those plastic pipes ,and no more worries on long trips
