MY mechanic said that a rubber gasline that runs behind the alternator is dry rotted. Did they really design that way, could it leak and cause a fire? Does it really cost 500$

I'm not sure which hose you mean. You can replace the fuel hoses or the steel lines depending on their locations, if you tell me which 6 cylinder and the hose. There are part numbers on each, or you can get each at a parts store, you'll need to replace both pressure and return hoses, ues they sure can leak. If your going to do it yourself you'll need a fuel line dis-connect tool, so you'll need to go shopping at the store. First identify your engine size, then visually inspect the hoses to find out how long and their locations amd replace them both, using the disconnect tool, if you read the site menu, it explains how to do it.
