[Chrysler300] Soluble Fuel System Components

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, Ron:

The deleterious effects of today's fuel on old and NOS parts seems to 
come up about quarterly.  I received what I discerned to be very 
knowledgeable information and a reasonably-priced fuel pump rebuild kit 
from Tom at:  781-335-1579, 781-335-8860; thecellar@xxxxxxxxxxxx; 
http://www.then-now.com/parts.htm; Weymouth, MA.  Their website is 
pretty comprehensive.

I recommend giving strong consideration to replacing the synthetic hoses 
leading into the fuel pump and between the carbs, also.  There are some 
other synthetic elements from the filler tube gasket to the fuel pump 
and inside the carbs that may also provide you more excitement than you 
want.

Congratulations on recognizing and addressing this significant safety 
problem and good luck on finding the right parts made out of the right 
materials that are not soluble in today's gasoline.

Interestingly enough, the e-mail addresses above were incompatible with 
our e-mail server, as they are converted to HTML format.  I had to copy 
this into MSWord, then back again to get it to "go".
