kink'ed fuel line?

Coupe50h · 10-30-2004, 11:53 AM

Yea some shop that installed my subframes somehow smashed my fuel line on the lift/
problem is, they are no longer in buissness, so i have to deal with this myself, my car reads good fuel pressure and all, but it bothers me/
it is the fatter hard line, over around the subframe connector? arent these expensive? the car runs fine, should i not worry about it? im afraid to hook up the bottle now and possibly go lean from restricted flow, if it is being restricted?

any ideas? thnx

cut out the flattened line buy a small steel fuel line with connectors=2 connectors 2 flare nut fittings, you will need to make a flare fitting on each end of the orignial line.
