It will cost the same or less in the end as well and you have a repair that will outlive the truck.

O.K. I'll clarify my statement. I am not a Chemist nor an expert in all of the molecular structures of all the components on an automobile.
"Rubber" is a generic term here, meaning a non-metallic flexible material. I did however state to use "Fuel line" in my post.
I would use Fuel Line that is designed, manufactured, sold, and approved for use in Fuel systems regardless of what it is actually made of. I would
never use Rubber hose such as windshield washer hose etc.
I respect your advice on fixing the fuel system using OEM fuel components, and that you stand firm on your convictions. However, each of us has to make a decision as to exactly what we can afford and how to repair our own vehicle.
