So I have a rusted and cracked fuel line way back by the fuel tank on my 89 burb.
We just recieved 13 inches of snow..and it is 6 degrees outside:gasp:, so I'm limited to "imagining" the repair in my head while I'm stuck here at work. So forgive me if some of my answers would be obvious if I got under the truck.
What I'm wondering is do I need to use OEM hard fuel lines to replace the hard fuel lines on the truck? Are there fancy fittings at the sending unit that need a threaded connection or "clip-on connection" Or could I get some "fuel injection" quality rubber fuel line and somehow use that? Like maybe cut out the rusted section, flare the hard line and slip on the rubber line with some good hose clamps?? I did notice the hard line appears to have a threaded connection to the fuel filter?
Anybody who can give me a description of what to expect once I do get under the truck and lower the fuel tnak that would be great. Like how is the hard line connected to the sending unit? What will I need to remove it? Where can I find replacement lines with the needed connectors already in place? Are they like brake lines where the connections are universal, and I just need to go by the righ length and bend it up?
I've never worked with fuel injection fuel lines so any advice would be great!! Thanks!!:glasses:
