Re: How to Do Repairs to Leaking Fuel lines??

If it is a return line, the pressure is much lower......

I have seen repairs like this, where, guys have just cut out the line, and done one of two things......overlap the ends of the cut lines with flexible fuel hose, and double hose clamp each end.....have seen lines replaced with steel lines, attached with compression unions.....you would never use compression fittings on a brake line, because we are talking thousands of pounds of pressure......fuel lines are usually under 50 psi.....in my case, I prefer flaring the lines myself....

Here in New England, where we use a lot of salt in the winter, brake lines and fuel lines, are always being replaced...
