I agree that there is a difference between a car that is driven and a car that is driven off a trailer. I've been flat on my back in the grass enough to know that if you drive a car there will be dirt and chips and bugs that you just cant get to. I've been on both sides of this in that

So, they say
that there is a power steering hose that you use for the return line, and that
although you can buy it by the foot, it's different from fuel line, and that my

because I have plenty of fuel line.
Thanks Mike. I figured there must be a reason for the
separate listing. It is the return line though. In any case I'll get the right
