Alot of time the brake lines on mx-3's will rott out just before they go over the gas tank at the back. Since the fuel lines run along here too, there is a good chance that they are rotten too. I would think that the brake lines are more of a problem than the fuel lines at the moment, unless it is leaking fuel. Brake lines can be called as a safety hazzard (Here in Canada) if they are 'heavily rusted' and still not leaking. If they are leaking or even just seaping a tiny bit...then they need to be replaced. A GOOD shop will replace them from front to back, as repairing a line or splicing is NOT considered acceptable for a safety (again here in Canada) but is acceptable as a repair (NOT a Saety).
BTW 2carprojack....you never repaired a line on a car? And who uses rubber line on a car with 50 psi coming out of the pump? How you gonna secure that line to the steel line, hose clamps? Butcher
