Fuel line for 06 2.4

Seems super easy to find lines for 2.2, but not so for the 2.4? Seems odd, since the 2.4 wasn't exactly rare. I have the famous left rear tire leak. I'd like to do nylon lines. Anyone have a part number or source?

Rock Auto has a full fuel line replacement kit for a 2006 2.4 for $185. However, this will not be a nylon fuel line kit. On the positive side, it will be a bolt-on kit that you don't have to form.

Ebay has lots of nylon fuel line kits for the HHR. These are basically a roll of nylon fuel line and some connectors. You snake the fuel lines through and install the connectors to mate with fuel tank and engine.

There are also kits to replace only the part of the fuel (and vent) lines that rust out, from the fuel tank to a point under the car. I did this on a 2011 HHR.

I wondered if they weren't the same. But it's good to have confirmation. Thanks!
may as well replace the fuel and vent lines at the same time.

Ty Oldblue. I'll probably do a replacement as opposed to a partial fix. May as well go all the way.

Same left rear tire leak here on my 08 2.4. State inspection criticized too much rust on the fuel lines, so it did not pass. When having a detailed look at the lines and moving them around a bit in the shop, they started leaking right away.

Normally I would have gone for the nylon lines if I had replaced them before inspection. However with re-inspection looming and them now knowing what kind of material was used from factory, I am pretty sure nylon lines would raise questions and result in lengthy discussions with uncertain outcome... They are pretty nitpicking here about these things...

Therefore I ordered these steel lines and have them installed in the next few days:
