TPI fuel lines

Does anyone know if there is somebody who makes aftermarket fuel lines that run under the car. My factory lines are pretty rusted and need to be replaced and I can imagine it's a real PITA trying to match all the bends.
Thank's

Re: TPI fuel lines

thanks, will rather not do j/y although it might be fairly cheap i saw a tpi trans am at the j/y sat. mostly gutted wonder if the fuel lines are the same, ? do the lines go all the way back from the driver side all the way to the tank, have not had a chance to look under car as i just figured i was leaking fuel yesterday, im glad i saw a squirt, driving could have been horrible

Re: TPI fuel lines

The thread size changed somewhere between 88-90. Mine are rusted as well, but I'm having problems finding a junkyard car of the correct year.

Re: TPI fuel lines

Just to let you guys know, IF the engine/Trans is out of a doner car it is possible to pull the lines from front to back completly out without bending them. I swaped my car from Carb to TPI. I managed to get my Carb lines out in one giant peice and my TPI lines back in in one peice as well. Just take all of the 10 mm screws out take loose the steering shaft from the steering column and drop it down push lines back until they clear the brake lines and then pull out through the front. Its simple. I just though I'd put in my .02.

Re: TPI fuel lines

Re: TPI fuel lines

They make high presure hose and special "Fuel injection line Clamps" that will hold the presure. Thats what I used to replace the hose peice between my chassis line and my sending unit.

This is what the clamp looks like.

Re: TPI fuel lines

yeah sounds liek that might be a temporary fix for now i've been wrenching on other things and would hate to see the car sit more until i fix yet another issue, any tips on cutting the line without problems, i was thinking about using a dremel to cut the line but i figure that might a too much heat,(sorry anythign gas related scares me)

Re: TPI fuel lines

Don't worry about the heat, it's those sparks from that Dremel that will blow you and the car up! Use a small tube cutter, any parts store,hardware, etc will carry one.
