Title: Replacement fuel line
Post by: 88sportcoupe on August 23, 2006, 02:52:24 PM
I have a leak in my fuel line by the tank where the plastic line plugs into the metal line. anybody know if you can get the hard line that the plastic line plugs into anywhere? i dont want the whole hard line just like a short section with the correct end for the plastic line to connect to. Thanks

Are you talking about the metal line on the tank itself?

I know we sell the replacment plastice fitting in our help section. But have you checked the O-rings inside the plastic conector? Maybe one of them is missing or dried out and cracked. I know you can find replacments to put in there. Just don't have a clue where to get the metal  line without replacing the sender unit.

no not the sending unit lines. where it goes from the plastic line to metal line above the rear axle near the tank. i think i found somethin at advance online this one (http://"http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?categorycode=3120B&mfrcode=RNB&mfrpartnumber=800154") or this one (http://"http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?categorycode=3120B&mfrcode=RNB&mfrpartnumber=800155") then ill just run rubber F.I. line between that and the stock line.

Try classictube.com  They have the supply, return, and vapor metal lines listed for mustang.......They may be similar to our cars.  Someone else might know better.  Not cheap though

Sorry man on my 84 Turbo coupe its plastic frim the rail to the inline pump then plastic to the filter then plastic all the way to the sender. I bet that is what chuck W was thinking to. If you are gonna use rubber line I tell you to get the Fuel injection fuel hose. The regular stuff isn't for high psi apps. They also have fuel injection hhose clamps that cost more and are a better design.
