Title: kink in plastic fuel line
Post by: whitebeastxr7 on March 11, 2005, 05:42:26 PM
Has anyone ever repaired the plastic fuel lines that hookup at the fenderwell and get connected to the fuel lines going to the fuel rails on an 88 XR-7?

I believe the auto parts stores sell a repair kit...

The Lincoln lines are about 3" to long. I used the return line from a LSC on my TC. First I split the plastic and removed the fitting, then cut it to the proper length. With the fitting greased and the line  warmed in hot water, I just pushed the line back onto the fitting.. Been over five years... no problem..

whats the repair kit like?  I wonder if I can just cut the line after the kink, remove bad line at the fitting and just shorten it up a couple inches?
TurboCoupe50, How did you warm the line, just a pan of hot water, is the plastic line easy to work with?
Thanks for the help guys
