    One fuel line to two engines

    5.x GX Parts Issues

    I found that for all except the pump suction tubes, you can go here. https://www.gates.com/content/dam/documents-library/catalogs/gates-molded-coolant-hose-id-guide-en.pdf if need be, you can get the stainless spiral hose liner for the suction hoses and you can prevent them from collapsing
