A couple of weeks ago I decided to take the FJ40 for a spin to run some Friday afternoon errands. While on the highway I noticed the smell of raw fuel. It got considerably worse, so I decided to pop the hood and inspect the fuel lines once I got to my destination. I got extremely lucky that I did not catch the truck on fire. The fancy Marshall mechanical fuel pressure gauge had failed while driving, and was dumping fuel all over the engine bay, including on the headers.
I decided to just abandon the stainless steel hardlines and gauge, and run a full Fragola Push-Lok setup. It's not nearly as cool looking, but it doesn't leak. You can see the glycerine that dripped on the header and burned in place. Again, I am extremely lucky I didn't burn the truck down.
