Fuel line

Long story short. Fuel line from the tank down * at the crimp* has bend up, BUt I bent a new line with a union for the Special Fitting and seal all cleaned up and such, But..
For some reason the fittin has dissapeared

1. Go to a junkyard cut out another one

2. Screw it and get it fixed by a mechanic

3.Try to buy an oem line and o itmselg ( not thinkng i have the tools lol)

Do you have a diagram or photo? I'm not quite envisioning the exact line you are describing.

I dont have a Diagram or a picture as of now, Its The Feed Line from the fuel tank as far as i can tell, it comes from a Rubber hose, Into a Crimp Then steel 3/8 line down into the Fuel filter ( in port)

For quick removal i had cut the hose, So and *** forbid for having lost it, I bent up 3/8 line and put a union fitting to connect to the correct o-ring Part of the line, of course By the end of my shop day it had "dissapeared" So, Im curious what to do wether to take it to a mechanic or to fix it myself?

The pressure line from the tank - I've got it. You can get one from the dealer, or get the parts and fab one yourself.

Does this involve taking down the tank? ( I have a 3/8 line bent up Just problem is i dont have that fitting that goes into the fuel filter Also the Crimp is cut, so all there is is a rubber hose ...

Unless you can reach the short steel tubing stub while the tank is attached, or adapt to what is accessible, you'll have to at least lower the tank a bit.
