Default Frustrated! Why do I keep blowing fuel lines!!!

ok so i'm getting to the point of being pissed off because this is the second time I have gotten stranded somewhere because of this, and almost got my baby towed tonight.

the fuel lines under the hood keep blowing.



the first time it was at the top of the line, now the second time its closer to the bottom.

I have a Walbro 255 that was put in about a year ago, and now the lines have both blew in the past 2 months. I replaced it with an OEM fuel line and now i'm thinking the only way to fix it might be to get a custom braided stainless line?

anyone know what might be the cause?

Have you checked what the pressure is?

maybe your return is blocked...

there is obviously something wrong, causing the lines to blow.

It's either heat or too much pressure.
