hey man where abouts in ontario are you? i think i have this exact same
problem with my lude! but a shop told me it would be a 1-2k repair???
very clear, step by step tutorial, thx
holy fuck,.. DO NOT USE COMPRESSION FITTINGS ON RUSTED LINES!!!! OR AT ALL
FOR THAT MATTER ON FUEL LINES!!!
Did similar repair on 1996 Saturn. Except it was underneath front drivers
door. I think the road salt caused this fuel line to leak at this location.
Thanks for having your videos monetized. Seriously. Now I remember that I
forgot to buy Malibu Rum at the store today.
One piece of advice, next time back the car out of the garage before
testing it or letting it run. I am not preaching at you. You did a fine job
on that. Just better safe than sorry in case there was a fuel leak. :P
Hi, were you bought the 5/16 steel connector pipe?
Hey, I’m going to attempt this today. Is there anything different I need to
do if the leak is closer to the driver side door? Also, thanks very helpful
video
By the way I forgot to ask you, what type of pliers did you use to crimp
those little clamps?
tremendous help!
Yeah i found that out myself. I though I would have to replace everything,
but just a simple replacement of a portion like that was really easy. But i
guess it all depends on the amount of room and placement of the line.
you could soak the end of the nylon in very hot water. The metal connectors
will slide right in. Nice work though!!
Just slip it on. There is a little brass piece inside it that goes on the
line and as you tighten everything it kind of crimps onto the steel line
How do u get the preassure fitting connection attached to the actual fuel
line
Is it possible to replace the entire gas line with the nylon line?
well i used a small tube cutter, and before cutting anything, open up the
gas cap, and what i also did was crack the bolt to the fuel rail to reduce
the fuel pressure in the lines. i had to replace the end of the line so
when i disconnected a little bit of fuel came out but not much,just have
something ready to catch fuel if you need to. and if you go slowly with a
manual hack saw i don’t think you would create a spark.
One more question where do you get the equipment? Could I go to Advance
Auto?
Or should I just use nylon with hose clamps?
yeah i din’t know about it myself until i wanted to order a whole new line
Thanks! i never though of that, thanks for the tip, but i hope i won’t have
to use it! haha
Great job!! I had a Ford F350 where the brake line had done the same thing
like your fuel line.. I bought it from up north (OHIO) and I can promise
you that I’ll NEVER buy another vehicle from the snowy areas again… That
road salt and calcium chloride just eats metal to pieces…
sorry should of been more specific but i was running out of characters. its
the banjo bolt that holds the fuel line to the fuel rail, but be careful,
because if there is still pressure in the line it will squirt out a little
so have a rag around in just in case.
well i’m not a mechanic, but if it can be used for a portion of the line, i
don’t see why not,
Hey, Noticed you have Ontario plates. Can you tell me where you bought the
replacement lines and fittings?
thanks for this helped a lot. tony
got everything at the dealership, but like i said in the other response i
have seen them at other parts stores. and i think one of the comments
someone posted a link as well
If its cold and your having a hard time fitting the rubber, might be a
worthwhile shortcut to warm up the rubber a bit with a lighter or torch, it
should slip on with ease, then let it sit for a few minutes to cool off.
Don’t BURN the rubber to a bubbling/melting temperature, just go easy with
gentle strokes with the torch to just warm it up.
remember our conversation at work ? pray-lude
yes i since fix fuel line kit cause im latin haha lol
can i ask why you need me to upload a video of the opener?
Thanks for the prompt reply superdelsol. Where about is that bolt to the
fuel rail you spoke of on your car?
@Ty Kez good to hear! i’m glad it helped
i got mine at the Honda dealership, but i have seen them at other parts
stores
Thanks again. I couldn’t find the banjo bolt but removed the gas cap and
cranked the engine without the ECU fuse. All I got was a few drips after
leaving the car to cool down for a couple of hours.
i just used regular pliers, even though i think there is a special type i’m
supposed to use. it still worked
I will try O’Reilly Auto Parts
Cool. Been doing a bit of plumbing around the house, becoming more
experienced with it. Done some car work before and I’m surprised how some
things they charge an arm and a leg for are really pretty easy and cheap to
do yourself. Thought I would draw the line if there was anything to do with
the fuel system, but watching you, I was powerfully struck by how much it
is like plumbing. So perhaps, now I’d try it myself if I had such a problem.
well i have to redo a new video because i don’t have the other one at all.
give me a few days, i might be able to post one by then
Sorry I’m already out of town and won’t be back till tuesday
