well, to save money i bought a fuel pump kit, instead of an entire module. i had to do it, or not be able to do the repair for a couple of months. so everything is going along alright, until i try to put the pressure hose onto the top of the module. no mater what i do, i can not get it fully seated. i tried immersing the hose in boiling water, after of course putting petroleum jelly on the inside of the pipe and on the barb. i have tried repeatedly streaching the pipe out with a tapered punch with heat. i can get it just over the second barb, but not all the way to the top like the factory one was. my only thought is to try to epoxy the hose on, and prey it doesn't come off after it dries. the only thing i have not tried is immersing the tube in boiling oil, or direct flame to the pipe. i am 99.9% certain that a direct flame wil ruin the pipe. so i am not going to do that. my fear about using hot oil is getting to much heat into the pipe making it brittle. there has to be 20 ways to connect the pump to the module, why do they always have to choose the most difficult?
before i smear a bunch of jb weld all over the inside of this thing, does anyone have any ideas?
