Repairing broken vacuum lines.

If you have a broken vacuum line on your truck you can take a piece of heat shrink and slide it over the line and heat it to seal the line back up. Just tried this and it works great.

Now that is a procrastinator!

I assume you mean for this to be a temporary repair until you get a replacement hose :-)

Thanks for using FTE!

Or until it breaks again. Of course then I would probably do the same thing until I got around to getting a new line.
Hmmmmm I sense a vicious circle.
