L92 OLDS

Sweet! Did you ever get around to a failure test? I wonder if the OEM's use a lubricant or heat to assemble.

No formal testing. Just driving.

Great info here. Thanks guys. I got all the line I needed out of 93-94 Caddys. For me, my caulking gun wouldn't work for pressing the fittings in but I had great luck with my 20 ton shop press. It allowed me to have a free hand to help with alignment of the tube and fitting. I noticed that's the most critical part of the process. Get it off a bit and the tube kinks and it time to cut it off and try again.

I know this is an old thread... but a great one!

My first post here... curious if anyone has tried this tool for pressing the nylon line/fittings? May be stronger/better than the flimsy Dorman tool set?
$70 is not too bad either.

An addition to my post above...it had small pics... The K-tool looks to be all metal and much more heavy duty than the Dorman... hopefully someone here has used it and can comment.
Here is a better picture of the K-tool from the Summit Racing website ($77.97):

The tool is a KTI 75300. It appears more robust for bench work but not as portable as the Dorman tool for "fix it in place" type of repairs.

Here is the breakdown of the tool and instructions:

Just noticed another option from K-Tool international.
Here is a fuel line splicing tool... make-up your connections then connect them to your fuel line with this compact tool:

Check out this youtube video of a much more robust version of the Dorman tool:



Trying to find a source and if inexpensive will definitely purchase this one...

I used the clamp from my tubing flaring kit, and a caulking gun. Worked great, and I already owned it.
