I have a 2004 F250 5.4l Extended cab Short bed. I am looking for a place to buy new fuel lines. Ford has discontinued them and I have been searching for new ones Anyone know a place that I can buy them? I tried classic tube and Inline tube, but they do not make them. Thank you
Are you talking about the fuel lines from the tank along the frame rails? Or the Fuel line in the engine that feed the injectors? Pix?
From the tank along the rail to the filter.. From the filter to wherever it goes, I guess to the fuel rail. Then the return line. My lines, oh roasted. The return line started leaking. Buy the fuel filter. I had to cut a section out. Input a patch piece in to make it work. I am planning on send Bliss to the frame. So at that point I wanna just replace the lines.

I priced out fuel lines a couple years back for the pair that go from the fuel rail down to the frame from the dealer it was about $300 a price and you have to buy both
I bought a piece of high pressure fuel line for $10 and it worked very well
I would suggest just letting a shop do this, or if you're handy and have GOOD tools make your own. I have done it in the past, it's not the most fun, and you've got to have a GOOD double-flare setup or you'll get leaks. A shop will have longer sections of tube than the average person can buy, and can custom bend them to fit.
Thank you. I tried inline tube, classic tube and others and no one has them. I could send my old line but they have already been but and spliced with rubber, It would take a few weeks down time which I can not afford. I do not want to replace with rubber hose. I can not believe no one reproduce them now a days.

Because of the availability of bulk tubing (up to 20 ft lengths) that shops can and do buy/stock, it's actually NOT a surprise that no one carries the pre-bent lines anymore. Couple that with the fact that they're almost always a PITA to reinstall, because they're originally installed on an almost-bare frame with no body/box on it, a lot of shops would rather just copy-bend the old ones on site. It's faster than waiting on parts to be delivered, they can keep connectors/ends/raw tube on hand, and they don't have to worry about pre-bent pieces showing up damaged/mangled in shipping (which would happen a LOT).
It's been like this for YEARS across all brands. I had a '95 GMC 2500 that had the fuel lines rot out from age (and the next year the brake lines did). No one carried the pre-bent lines, so because it was TBI and thus low-pressure I replaced all the fuel lines with rubber (harder to do on the newer high-pressure systems). The brake lines I re-did in pieces, copy-bending where needed.
Prebent break lines. We're not a problem to get. I bought a full set. Fuel line on the other hand is the issue. I would make it myself but the problem comes abou how do you make the factory ends? That connect to the fuel tank. The fuel fillter qnd the and the fuel rail?
