Metallic fuel lines would leak fuel. Another hose rubs against gas lines. The fuel gets into the intake manifold. Then it sprays against the line that it had chafed. This could cause a fire. Owner has the parts involved. Vehicle was not getting enough fuel. The engine has already blown. The new hose has a bent that was modified.
