Re: [ST] 99 ST
Steve,Chris,
Mine were finally replaced at about 36,000 miles, were still fine, and the tank had been off and on several times, by the shop and by me. I think some of the trouble may have been poor routing of the fuel lines when replacing the tank which subjected the connectors to a constant stress.
