Thread: How to fix steel fuel line?

FI or carb? If carb, and you're talking suction side, JB would be ok as a temporary fix.
Is your insurance paid up?

Lotsa

Slip a rubber gas line over it by making a slit in one side putting the slit to the back. If you can get one over without the slit it would be better. Then put a bunch of hose clamps on it.

But you will need to replace it soon!

Ya wouldn't put a band-aid on a heart attack would ya???
Bite the bullet and replace the line.
I hate to see fire in a car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The truck is not mine. I will inform the owner of this problem. I am doing the guy a favor to get it running. He parked it about 10 years ago freshly rebuilt and now I am trying to get it fired up.
SOOOOO, I am just trying to patch this thing up for the next couple days to see if the engine is still in good running condition. Not driving from TX to NY, yet.

Cut the line and repair it with rubber hose. Fuel leaks near headers are not a good thing!
