Thread: How to fix steel fuel line?

Do as Don said, you wouldn't put a band-aid on a fuel leak. Even if it was a temporary fix, chances are when the leak is stopped, it would be forgotten until disaster struck. Fix it right, fire isn't fun to play with.

BigTruckDriver,
It sounds like the truck has an electric fuel pump back by the tank and likely a regulator up by the carb? This would mean the line in question is under pretty good pressure, and the small leak may be pretty good volume. I agree that this is not a band aid opportunity - Like R Pope said, maybe cut out a foot or so of the line and temporarily put in a section of rubber fuel line with clamps? It would get him home, and let him operate to get it running right until the whole line can be replaced?
