When replacing my fuel pump to avoid dropping the tank i cut an access panel… We hit the supply fuel line (grey one) just behind the fitting to the pump… can’t seem to locate the part that i need anywhere, was wondering if there was a way to patch the line, and or the best way to go about it thanks guys i appreciate it

 

If the line is made of a plastic type material, probably ,synflex, you can purchase that size tubing from places like NAPA and the necessary fittings to replace the entire line.

Splicing a fuel line is a NO NO ! Why?
If it decides to leak and those fumes get near the exhaust piping/ components , not a pretty picture.

A lot of folks do some things without thinking and that is why it is standard practice to replace the entire line.

They make unions to splice that type line, but I would never recommend any type fix that could cause injuries or damage.

 

a recomendation of welding the tank with fuel in is best.....
remember safety 4th and this forum has no useful info.

....metal line you can use a pipe cutter creating no sparks. then flare or use rubber hose.
a rubber hose just cut and join to a piece of pipe then to hose. people have fixed things like this for 200? years.

 

It only takes ONCE !

Did you know they will weld only on full pipelines, because if air is present they will do it only once.


The ole days of using rubber hose and hose clamps are gone as far as fuel lines are concerned. In tank fuel pumps can produce pressures as high as 60 psi and if the incorrect type hose is used , it won't take long to get squishy and leak or blow off .

What we did yesterday , is not always good with today's vehicles.
