Replace fuel lines myself?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've got the typical rusted fuel lines on my 2003 and was thinking of doing them myself.  (luckily the brake lines were already done) I've read that the bracket on the bell housing is a pain, but do I really have to remove the anti-lock control unit and torsion bar bracket/crossmember?   I saw that in some directions for replacing fuel lines on an '05.    Looking at two section pre-bent lines from Lines-to-go. Thanks for any tips or advice.

Are the fuel lines leaking? If not, I would skip this repair for now. I replaced my brake lines after they started leaking through the rust spots, and it was not very much fun. The fuel lines on mine are rusty, but I am not touching them till they leak.

Unfortunately they are leaking.  The supply line right where it connects into the nylon tank line.  I could just replace that section that goes to the fuel filter, but will eventually rust through somewhere else I'm sure.

You can buy rust inhibitor and soak the lines. That will immediately stop all rust, and it lasts for a very long time. Just spray the lines with this stuff every time you have a birthday, and they will never rust through.
