Fuel Line at the Pump..now has a slice in it...help!!
Fuel Line at the Pump..now has a slice in it...help!! Well me and my buddy were trying to cut an acess panel to reach the fuel pump...so i can install a new one.. Well as he was cutting..went alittle to far..and sliced into one of the fuel lines going into the pump. Its still together...but what can i do to make sure its gonna be alright?
Replace it! If it is a pressure line theres no way (FAIK) to mend it together. There are enough people on here that have replaced their stock lines so you should be able to get a good deal on a used on, just be sure to ID which line it is.
Thinking....if there is enough room, I imagine you could try using some ferrels, and compression fittings. Wouldnt hurt to try I guess. Make sure you have enough room on each side where its cut first, enough to work with you know. Finish cutting it, making it square as possible. Slide the male end over one side followed by the compression ring, and the Female on the other side followed by compression ring, teflon paste the threads and tighten. Might actually work. Once done, turn key to prime the pump, while having your friend (wearing eye protection!) see if its leaking. Then proceed to swap out the pump or button her up if your done! But I would still be looking for a replacement!
