[ http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?140784-Fuel-pipe-tips&highlight=fuel+leak ]part of the guide wording: One particular fuel pipe that can be troublesome ( leaking ) is the front one under the throttle shaft. Often access seems impossible and trying to tighten up the clips is impossible, well the trick is not to tighten but to loosen, the clips can then be rotated into a better position as shown lower down where the better access allows the clip to be tightened more efficiently. However some time the pipe needs changing and as here the wrong one been fitted meant changing it, not as hard as its seems if you follow a few tips.
The section highlighted as B shows the offending incorrect pipe, the section highlighted A shows the accelerator and cruise control cables/ quadrants held back with tie-wraps. After ensuring the pressure has released from the fuel rail undo the clips and use long nose pliers to pull the pipe free, if its stuck use knife and split it down its length, be aware some fuel will still spill from the pipe so have some paper towel ready and some water to wash down after.
