Where can I find an injection line?

I had multiple people tell me it would be hard to find an injection line, but I didn't believe it!

My favorite pull-a-part yard had 4 diesels, all of the lines were gone.

I've called several guys on craigslist who are not interested in selling anything less than the entire engine.

I've been calling junkyards all day...

I found one on ebay for $40. What a rip!

Anyone got a good lead?

Your best bet is ebay, ive never found lines in the yards either. 40-50 bucks seems to be what they go for, or a full set for 100-200. My brother twisted off #1 and it took all day to find one, think it was 60 or 65... sadly couldnt find one off a van.

Hi, Yeah EBAY is where I have seen them also, $40 Little high but they are hard to come by. I say if you have the $40 bucks and you really need it go for it, I've seen them as high as $70. GOOD LUCK !!!!

I need #4. There is a significant lip worn into the flare. I could try filing it, but I'm worried it would end up out of round.

I had this same issue with one of my lines a while ago and couldn't get it to stop leaking. RacinNdrummin was kind enough to send me the one line I needed. It worked for a while, but it was difficult to get it tight enough to not leak slightly. On top of that, if you don't get the specific line for your engine, it will probably make it run a little rough. Mine did. Especially if you have old injectors and a tired pump. I read in quite a few places the 6.9 and 7.3 lines are different lengths.

In my opinion, might as well save the extra couple of bucks and buy a whole new set of lines. That way you know everything is right and you have the rest as spares if you do it again. Just make sure to get the ends lined up and straight before cranking them down, or you can cause that same ridge in the flare trying to get it tight.

you don't have your truck model/engine stuff in your signature - so anyway like kobalt says - the diesel store -- 1993 Ford, F-350 - Fuel Injection Diesel Parts Selector
