I was working on my car ( i changed the fuel filter) and well to make a long story short my fuel line is now crimped and twireled. PLEASE HELP ME, i really need help.

Im feeling stupid enough right now because one thing i forgot to notice now make my car a driveway ornament

 

cut the line out and replace with some rubber fuel hose..

how much of it is crushed and where abouts?

 

long as the car is carbed replace it with some rubber. When you get the time, get some compression fittings and some new metal line and put it together.

PS next time use 2 wrenches!

 

thank *** you 2 responded fast, im so pissed off at myself right now. But yeah its right where the fuel line enters the filter, so wouldnt rubber hose melt or something? cause it does get hot

 

no, it should be OK. Try not to leave rubber on there too long, either that or check it regularly to make sure its OK.

 

do i just slide it over the hose i cut and clamp it? or can i get some line from the junkyard and put my other one together with it in a convient place? how would i go about bonding 2 metal lines?

to make tings easier i will go take a picture of it

 

Heres the pic, its a bit big

 

its pretty close to the fitting, if theres room near the fitting and its not crushed there just hose clamp some rubber fuel line..

get fuel hose

it'll be fine. Mines rubber al the way from the fuel pump to the carb, though a steel braided rubber line.

 

what im gonna do, since the previous owner striped the smaller nut for the fitting, im gonna go hack saw a good foot of fitting off a car in the junkyard and put the rubber hose on somewhere else convienent.

Thankyou to all who replied, I dont know what i would have done without you guys, these boards kick so much ***!

Me so happy now :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

yeah the junk yard solution is a good idea, thats what i would have suggested but it sounded like you needed an instant fix.

 

If you are gonna go that route, dont half-*** with the rubber, go to the parts store, and get two 3/8 compression fittings and put it together that way.

 

yeah man sounds good. Im goin to the yard today and maybe i will stop at an auto store and pick those up to get my baby running today.

again thanx sooooooo much for all of your guys' help.

I dont know much about fuel lines Im only 17 thanx alot peope! :lala: :lala:
