Ok fellars...Here's my newest endeavor....Fuel line replacement due to PO being a total dickhole...

So far, I have metal fuel lines as per OEM back, to the rear cross member, in front of the rear fuel tank.....Approx. 30-40" between the sending unit, and the point that the PO decided to simply cut the lines...

So far, here is the only options I have, as to a replacement line...

Option A- Simply try to find a OEM set off a donor truck...been looking, but no avail....

Option B-These Replacement ends....Would allow for some more options...



OR, these....Which I'm liking better...



And simply use some of the Nylon fuel line and cut/fit to my needs....

With one of these at the other end, where the Nylon Line, would meet the metal OEM line...




And one of these to tie the brass fitting above, to the metal line...






And then on to one of these...Flare nut...



I purchased a Flaring Tool today, to do the flaring, etc...And get some practice....

SO what do you all think? Too much hassle?


I know, I know....The OEM ones would be 10x easier...Simply plug an play....

But given I don't find a OEM line, here's my best idea...

 

I had the same type of problem but the idiot who did my exhaust decided it would be ok to push the fuel lines with the dual tail pipe and melted right threw them I cut the bad out and rerouted it with 3/8s rubber line and it works great knock on wood lol

 

Out of curiousity...Would some rubber fuel line be a better choice?

I'm thinking thermally, and chemically, the rubber would be more stable...

Wouldn't deform, crack, become brittle, etc...As the Nylon would....


Decisions, decisions....

 

On a 92 if you use rubber hose make sure it is fuel injection rated. Use double clamps with a bulged ends on any metal lines.

They have those from Dorman also...So would you recommend the same system, except with rubber line, and the metal line extended?

The flare, flarenut and union has to stay either way....

 

The rubber line is faster and easier to install and I have used it on my RV.

By the way the bulged fuel line is made with a Double Flaring Tool.

 

*Palm to face*

I bought the regular flaring tool.....THe parts guy held up a DF tool, and I declined it today....

Either way, it's within $2 of being the same price, or saving....So no real hassle either way...

 

Yea the rubber works great for me I had to do a fast job so I could make it to school lol i think ether way u would bet good cause there's falts to both cause when rubber get old it crack and when metal gets old it rusts lol only thing I was thinking with rubber it would be easier to replace if u ever had a problem with it

 

88 F-350,
Do not forget you are talking about low pressure fuel lines on your 88 and he is talking about high pressure fuel lines on his 1992.
