help! need fuel lines!!!!!
is there anybody that can get fuel lines for an 88 f250 long bed supercab. i have a 351 in it and the coupling to the fuel rail is the garter spring type. i am loooking for some cause in haste we cut em getting the motor out. i know the dealer wants 300+ for the both of them, and i was wondering if anyone has access to some at a reasonable price. if you guys know where to get a set i would greatly be appreciative . thanks in advance

Well, can you just use a fuel rubber hose. Put that between the cut fuel lines and tighten it on both sides with a clamp.
If you want, you can use a flare tool on both ends first to raise both ends of the fuel lines so that when you put the fuel rubber hose, it will be snug and tight. If you don't have a flaring tool then it should alright to just put the fuel rubber hose between the two cut fuel lines.

i was able to shove the old line back onto the fitting as i cut the lines right at the fuel rail in the beginning. it was hard to put the line in so i spreaded it open a bit by putting a bolt in the line.then i used hose clamps. napa had the garter springs and tool. i saved 345 bucks...eh eh eh
