I have a 97 GP GT 3.8 vin K and I need to replace the fuel line on the rear fuel rail. Does anyone have an idea how long it calls to replace and how involved it is.
Thanks

-I must say JB WELD worked amazing to temporarily fix the problem until my part comes in. It was leaking badly, I cleaned off the plastic line and applied JB to the leaking area. I waited 1 1/2 hours started it up and no more leak. It has been 3 days and still holding. I have pictures of the fix but I cant figure out how to post attachments.

There are repair sections available instead of replacing the entire line made by Dorman/Motormite. If it's broken somewhere in the middle, the kit will consist of a section of the plastic line and two metal serrated splice connectors. They make these repair sections for the quick-connector ends also, if you broke one changing a fuel filter or fuel pump module. These kits come with instructions, are fairly easy to do, and are much less expensive than replacing the entire line.

Thanks for the reply,

The line cracked right before the 90 degree bend going into the fuel rail closest to the fire wall. I would need the 90 degree quick disconnect. Is there a repair kit available for that. Where do I go about finding that????? Is that a kit they would have at Advanced or Autozone??? Thanks for the help

If it's the inlet side, it is dorman #800-059. A-Z or Advance may very well stock it

Here's a link to Dorman's fuel line repair kits.

Thanks for the help!!!! I really do not want to replace the whole line so the repair kit is perfect.

-BTW the JB weld is still holding like a champ. I have driven it a lot since I made the temporary repair.

well the repair kit does not work the way I would hope. The one I need has all the curves in it. I may be able to bypass the curved line and put the straight one in and just angle it slightly to go over the brake fluid reservoir. The only thing I am afraid of is putting too much pressure on the existing line and cracking it. I may just keep the JB weld on for now since it is holding and have the repair kit on hand just in case??????????????

- Do you know of any other repair kit that might fit my application better????
