OEM Fuel Lines Reply #15 – April 12, 2008, 03:36:38 PM Freeze the fitting, boil the line, and use bit of KY lube?Having a tube of KY in the garage might look strange, but it works great for stuff like this! Quote Selected
OEM Fuel Lines Reply #16 – April 12, 2008, 04:11:45 PM I'll go stick the fitting into the freezer right now. About how long *ideally* should the line be boiled?I had tried pastime to boil the line in water, and was at it for 15-20mins with no success. Quote Selected
OEM Fuel Lines Reply #17 – April 12, 2008, 04:39:56 PM I think water boils somewhere around 212 degrees or so.100 degrees is nice bath water. Quote Selected
OEM Fuel Lines Reply #18 – April 12, 2008, 05:18:27 PM Quote from: cougarXLS;213698Doesn't water boil at 100 degrees C? LOL Vinnie.... that's what my C was for. You're right.... for those south of the border... I will have to remember to convert 100 degrees Celsius = 212 degrees Fahrenheit But more to my question... is that enough? And for what duration?

OEM Fuel Lines Reply #20 – April 12, 2008, 05:51:22 PM Quote from: daminc;213712lol You guys and your metric system Yeah, I never did figure everything out...

My parents speak in imperial and I can barely speak metric. LOL BUT!!! does anyone know how long I should be keeping a Nylon Fuel Repair Line (Type 12) submerged within the boiling water pot??

OEM Fuel Lines Reply #24 – April 12, 2008, 11:37:51 PM This is a quote from a post I read on the CorralQuoteLike said before put them in real hot water when I did mine I took a big pot put it on the stove got it hot not bolling but hot took some gloves and the line slid right on and then I threw it in the freezer and boom it was done took like five minutes and worked great for the last 15ooo miles but to each his own.

OEM Fuel Lines Reply #25 – April 13, 2008, 12:19:28 PM So I guess it should work. I will try again. Quote Selected
OEM Fuel Lines Reply #26 – April 15, 2008, 11:08:50 AM Well, I finally managed to merge the nylon with the plastic connectors, and guess what! I made one mistake to many, and the line wound up to short ! So, I buy some more nylon line... I finally manage to get it! Cougar X is going down the road again!!! As this thread is in the Marketplace and not technical support, there is method in my madness.... or madness to my method... I would still be curious if anyone has any OEM fuel lines. Thanks everybody for your help! Go Go! Quote Selected
