I'm stripping my parts car that was a victim of a previous owner who didn't know what they were doing. First was a bad timing belt job then incorrect sensors installed and now this....
This is the fuel feed line from the tank to the fuel filter. When replacing the fuel filter you absolutely must use a 19MM wrench to hold the filter while you use a line wrench to loosen the fitting on the line pictured! If you don't the line will get kinked and cause a melt down. Luckily the car was not driven much in this condition and was running stock boost. It took a lot of cranking to get started.
The reason for running the logger is to see if your car has any stock issues like this that could cause very expensive problems. I have seen quite a few of these lines kinked like this due to someone having rectal cranial inversion.
