NOT RECOMMENDED. If you must, use compression fittings. You can find thes in kits at local parts stores. The kit will consist of 2 compression fittings and a length of steel tubing. You must know the diameter tubing you are going to be mending. Please be sure to pick up some Teflon tape also, to prevent any leaks. If you don't have one, buy a cheap tubing cutter so that you don't crimp the tubing when you are trying to cut it to length. Again, this is not a good thing to do with fuel line but in an emergency it will get you home. I would suggest buying a long length of the correct size tubing and replacing it all. On older NON-fuel injected vehicles, it was permissible to use a length of rubber FUEL HOSE and hose clamps to connect the steel lines. The rubber hose could not exceed 6 inches/15cms in length. The PREFERRED method of repair was still to replace the interrupted steel line with the correct full length piece.
What else can I help you with?
What does the fuel rail do?
It is the connection between the fuel lines and the injectors.
Do you have to pay for a 'sending unit' when replacing a fuel pump?
Depending on the make & model of car,some fuel pumps come as complete assemblies(pump & sending unit) Often the fuel lines are rusty and sending unit will have to be replaced if lines break or leak. If car is older and in rust prone area, sending unit fuel lines could be bad. This does not answer question, but i hope it will help.It depends on what kind of vehicle it is.
Will rust in fuel lines stop a car from starting?
Yes, it can block a filter or destroy an injector. Fuel lines should never have rust in them, since fuel is an oil based material that actually prevents rust. If you have rust in the fuel tank it's because condensate has been allowed to build up. You need to take care of the problem.
Does steel seal work?
works great if you get the ones that are 2 products that you have to mix together when removed from package..I have used them on huge fuel tanks on dump trucks for years and in most cased alot cheaper and easier than dropping the tanks and welding.
How do you bleed a diesel 709 mercedez engine?
Loosen the injector lines at the injectors not the pump then crank the engine till there is fuel at the injectors then retighten the lines.
Splice rubber fuel lines?
The splice rubber fuel lines must be carefully spliced using the special tool for the purpose. The rubber fuel lines that have been correctly spliced will not leak.
Is the fuel line after the filter steel or rubber line on a Chevy truck?
Crawl under the car and look. Steel lines. Both ways.
How can you replace a leaking fule line or can you splice it?
if the fuel line is steel then cut out the bad spot, and go to auto parts store and buy fuel injector hose. put hose where line is cut out and use fuel injector type clamps to hold hose.
Steel gas line for Buicks?
Steel gas lines for Buicks are commonly used in the fuel system to transport gas from the fuel tank to the engine. These lines are durable and resistant to corrosion, which is important for safety and longevity. It is recommended to have them inspected regularly to prevent leaks or other issues.
Im replacing fuel lines in Chevy cavalierThe nylon lines off the fuel pump are awierd sizeIM trying to get a compression fitting to connect the steel to the nylon but 516 is small and 38 is big?
The lines are probably a special size. You may have to go to the dealer to get the correct size.
What type of pipe is used to run diesel fuel lines?
When designing or upgrading diesel fuel systems, selecting the right type of pipe is critical for safety, efficiency, and long-term performance. At PETRO Industrial, diesel fuel lines are typically run using carbon steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, or approved fuel-grade flexible hoses, depending on the application and operating conditions. Carbon steel piping is widely used in industrial environments due to its strength, durability, and resistance to mechanical damage. It is ideal for fixed installations such as storage tanks, generators, and fuel transfer systems. For environments where corrosion resistance is essential—such as outdoor installations or areas exposed to moisture—stainless steel piping is a preferred option because it offers superior longevity and reduced maintenance requirements. In certain applications, such as vibration-prone equipment or short connection runs, diesel-rated flexible hoses with reinforced linings may be used. These hoses are specifically designed to handle fuel exposure, pressure variations, and temperature changes. It is important to note that materials like PVC or standard plastic piping are generally not recommended for diesel fuel, as prolonged exposure can cause degradation and leaks. PETRO Industrial (petroinddotcom) ensures that all diesel fuel piping solutions comply with industry standards and safety regulations, delivering reliable fuel transfer systems tailored to each operational requirement. Proper material selection not only enhances system efficiency but also minimizes environmental and operational risks.
Working of fuel filter?
Fuel is pumped out of the fuel tank by the fuel pump, and is forced down steel and/or nylon fuel lines, through the fuel filter. The filter is made of a permeable media that removes tiny particles that could damage internal engine components
Are fuel lines made out of copper tubing?
Fuel lines are typically made out of steel, stainless steel, or aluminum instead of copper tubing. These materials are chosen for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and ability to withstand the high pressures and temperatures associated with fuel delivery systems. Copper tubing is more commonly used for plumbing and HVAC applications due to its malleability and heat conductivity.
Will gas leak from the fuel lines during filter replacement on 2000 Chevy Silverado?
Yes, but not much. You must be VERY CAREFUL when releasing the nuts so that you don't crack the fuel line! If you do, the line should be replaced the from the filter to the next fitting (NEVER try to splice the gas line!).
Where is the fuel test port located in a 1995 Chevrolet Silverado?
It don't have 1. You will have to splice into the fuel line fitting at the back of the TBI housing.
Where is the fuel fliter on a 89 camaro rs?
i think its underneath the car around the drivers side door. just follow the steel fuel lines below your drivers side door and you'll find it.
How can you cut four fuel lines that are close together with no room for a hack saw?
Use a mini tubing cutter.
