Hey .. I've got a leak in my fuel line under the car.
Now what I need to know is if I can use rubber hose to patch the leak. I've heard that under the car you have to have steel fuel lines for it to pass a safety. Can someone please tell me.
thanks

you can use rubber and some hose clamps, but I would only do it temporarily until you get real lines.

That'll be a quick fix till you can properly repair it. The gas will corrode the rubber.

DO NOT USE REGULAR FUEL LINE. Your info shows you have a 94 Cavi. This is a fuel injected car which run in excess of 40 psi in the fuel system. Regular fuel line is only rated for 7 psi. Make sure to get hose rated for a fuel injection system and then this is a permant repair. Just as safe as the RUBBER section that comes from the factory that connects to the engine.

As for Gas corroding the rubber??? :screwy: Where did anyone hear that? What is that hose at the gas pump made of ? Not to mention the section on the end of your factory metal lines that connect to the motor. Was there some question that he/she might use aquarium tubing or something?

yeah, i agree with public,you can get 100psi fuel hose for cheap,double clamp it, make sure theres no kinks or moving parts & it will probably last as long as the metal lines

i just replaced a part of my fuel line with efi rubber tubing (they have really neat clamps made esspecially for them) works great!
