Leaky fuel line from tank to pump

[erasedhammer]

Rusty steel fuel lines.
Why in the world would they route this line on the OUTSIDE of the frame rail?

Maybe it's for easy repair

I dont know about that, Inside the frame rail seems just as accessible.

It is in a protected area so it wouldn't be damage. Could be related to helping keep the fuel cooler as inside the rails would trap a lot of the engine heat and could cause issues. Just a thought.

It lasted 35+ years. Do you want OEM stuff? I probably have it in my barn. Shipping is the problem. But really if it lasted this long it outlived it's expected life.

If you have a replace for that section of tube that doesn't leak, I will gladly pay for it and shipping.

Take a few pictures of exactly what sections you need and we can go from there. I know the front section from the right wheel house to the pump. And I need to know what other sections.

It's the 3/8" piece that comes from the hose just aft of the transfer case, jumps to the outside of the frame rail, and goes into a junction block inside the wheel well just next to the front passenger side bump stop.

So you don't need the brass block and the top side line?

Correct. Those are in good condition, protected by wheel well liner.

The line is like new. Very little rust if any. Still covered in Ziebart. From the brass fitting back is all you need? I compared it to the M1028 and it is the correct part.

You might want to get busy with some Fluid Film under there.

It's at the top of a very long list.

You caught me before I shipped. I will get that piece on the shipment still attached. So you are saying you need this entire piece.
