Damn Mice

2015 6.2L FlexFuel - A pesky mouse has eaten a hole in my fuel rail 90 degree fuel quick disconnect. Ford dealership wants me to buy the complete fuel line but all I need is the replacement elbow. Will any replacement work? Or since I have the option of burning a more caustic flex-fuel option does the elbow need to be a certain proprietary part? I know with flex fuels the fuel line is more robust to handle the more corrosive fuels. The only marings on the elbow are DNX42. Currently, I have scabbed in a replacement elbow just to keep running, but I’m wanting to fix this correctly if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may be a start, if you know the material of the new elbow that you're considering. There may be other/better references out there for you too. https://www.terrauniversal.com/blog/chemical-compatibility-chart-plastics]http:// https://www.terrauniversal.com/blog/...chart-plastics

Also, you may want to take a trip to the depot and pick up a gallon of peppermint rodent repellent spray (it's near the bird seed). I recently had issues with little squirrels, and then I sprayed this stuff in my wheel wells and engine bay. They have stopped coming by since. The downfall is that your truck will smell like a tube of Crest toothpaste.

Good luck.
