Ruptured fuel line replacement help

cessnapilot89 · May 12, 2024

Well, tonight my m35A2 blew a fuel line. Looks like these 2 rubbed and now it has a pin hole that is spraying diesel like old faithful.

Any advice in finding replacement or repairing it?

Yep! Local Napa couldn't make a hose. Fuel like turned out to be plastic so I spliced in a new section.

Just be sure to use nylon if you're using the clear line, the other stuff will get soft, swell up and start leaking.
McMasters carrys the line as well as the appropriate fittings.
Some have changed over to air brake line instead of the clear.

They say for copper but work just fine. I've used them w/ & w/o inserts in the tubing.

And what they look like/order number,

That is what I replaced my lines with. Had a mess of the line and fittings, but that went with the truck.
