New fuel line?

don't splice fuel lines......

maybe i have high standards, but fuel line is only a buck or two per foot, and i'd rather not take shortcuts when you're dealing with things that could potential destroy your car/end your life in an accident.

Well Im with you on that.

The problem is, I have the wall in and cant get to where it starts underneath the car.

And the break is only an inch from where the rubber line goes into the metal line.

well, i dunno, you probably just got the wrong size kit.

fuel lines are kind of tricky, because for any given OD, there could be a number of different ID. plus, some cars use metric fuel line, and some use imperial fuel line.

I'd take the piece you cut off somewhere that knows what they're doign, and they'll tell you what to do.

Well thanks for the advice guys.

I went down to 5/16.

It was real tight getting it on the tubing to connect the rubber lines together, much better than the 3/8s

That combined with using 2 clamps where the rubber line attatches to the steel line worked great.

I ran it for about 30 seconds, not even a small drop of gasoline.

Im going to go back in a few and see if there is any wet spots anywhere on the outside, but I think its sealed good as new.

Now I have to figure out how to get a 160 in a bandpasss..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
