Ut oh
Was starting to take the TBI off when...
Can I just pull the metal piece out of the connector, cut the end of the tube going back to the tank and reconnect them or should I get a whole new line?
EDIT: In case you cant see, the line closet to the pass. side connector twisted as I put pressure on the wrench to loosen it and twisted it enough to snap it and seal both ends.

Dorman might make a repair line that would help you.

Re: Ut oh
naw thats nornal... lol damn, did that on my truck w/ the fuel tank lines (replaced) ... I've seen people cut it and attach a series of new fittings then resize it to fit the tbi adapters or something?

Re: Ut oh
its tbi so its low pressure, no reason you couldnt just go to a junkyard, get the fitting with a certain amount of line, and use a compression fitting. Compression fittings are good to like 100 psi IIRC. Just dont put it on your brake lines.

Re: Ut oh
Awesome guys, thanks for the replies. I will see what weekday I have off this week and do exactly that jno.
I was about to redo both the fuel and back-pressure with some braided, but that is unneeded at the moment.
