Busted fuel line need imput on what to fix with

[goatijoe]

The main fuel line from the tank started spaying right there at the frame where it goes thou. What is the best thing to fix the line with. does any one know what the fuel pressure is in that line?

It's copper tubing right there.

A simple fix wouldl be to cut it at the leak and use a short piece of rubber fuel line to splice it back together.


Less than 15 psi.

Cut out the section and splice a new section in with compression fittings, or if access is available cut the line and install a union (bulkhead fitting) w/ compression fittings. Fuel pressure will not be an issue. Quick field repair is hose clamps and rubber hose.

What comes from the tank(pump) is only at low pressure, 5-7 psi.
The best way: replace that section. Its' only a short piece of 1/2" copper tube, with a 90deg elbow, flared for the (stock) nuts.
Agree with Doghead and Scar59: maybe the quickest way, as a temporary fix, I would cut the line - before the frame and beyond that bend - then stick a piece of rubber hose over the ends and use clamps to hold in place.
