Fuel pump pressure line broke

ajfriz · 06-19-07, 08:18 PM

I accidentaly broke the pressure line that comes out of the top of the tank and then connects with the flexible line. I have called around and I can't find one locally. Is there a way to fix this so that it will hold up to the pressure of efi? I can weld quite well but I just don't think it is fixable without leaking in the near future. I'm sure I will have to replace the complete unit since the pressure line does not disconnect from the pump assembly.

they make fuel injection hose. it has stronger rubber with more reinforsement. buy it in bulk at napa with a sample.
just double clamp it with fuel injection clamps. you can get those clamps from napa too.

Well I went to napa and they did have the goods but my pressure line was too buggered up to make it work, so I ended up going to the junk yard and sift through a whole bunch of crap before I found one that wasn't so crappy. It took about an hour of cleaning to get all of that old gas and shiz off and I switched to my other pump. It seems to be great now.
