Hello folks!

Quick question - my girlfriend brought the Xfire to German car repair place that is owned and operated by a German master mechanic with whom I have made good experience the three times I was there (twice with a Porsche and once with a Xfire).
She was not able to explain to me what exactly the issue was but here is how I understood it:
The guy was going to change the fuel filter but realized that some hoses were severely cracked and need replacing. He said it was dangerous as gas could leak down and the car could catch on fire. The weird thing is that even though he said these hoses were super cheap they come from Germany and even Mercedes would have to order it from there as nobody seems to have them. He said he can order them but it will take 2 weeks. In the meantime it is not so bad that gas is leaking or the car is inoperable.

What could this be? Of course I will speak to the guy myself when I return from a trip but any ideas what my wife picked up here?? Are there any hoses that are prone to leakage or breaking on our car somehow connected to the fuel system?

Thanks for the insight!
