In the picture marked assembly sequence, all of those o-rings and spacers go in from right to left with the metal clip being the last part installed. I just went out to the junkyard and cut off several new ends. In my case, I have the tool to replace the end. In your case you should just need the o-rings and use a pick to remove all of the parts and replace what's needed.

O-ring, spacer, o-ring, guide spacer, metal clip for a bottom to top assembly order.

yikes hope i dont got to replace all of them,ima see if i can get a pic of the inside you can probly tell me what im missing,dang hate to have to drop the tank againcwm3

 

[coltonx3]

You shouldent have to drop tank I dident I bet you only need that first o ring in top cause thats what riped on mine you should be able to just put the o rings in with something small idk but If I were in your postion like I was at one point I would just go buy a new conector ooo ya and you can put the new one in the like like oem with a chaking gun and a brake flaring tool that autozone will lend to u thats just.me pluss the new conector has the built in tool so if you ever have to take it off

 

[BIGBODY 94]

i hope thats all its needs im so temping to cut the end and just put a damn hose clamp,like i said there hose clamps on the inside of my fuel tank connected to the fuel pump and sending unit so i think it should work on the outside aswell ya know

 

[NADACOP]

Yeah, you probably could. After all, if the hose clamp comes off inside the tank on the pump what's the worst that can happen? If the line comes off the metal portion of the feed line and blasts fuel all over a hot exhaust-Hey! That's what insurance is for right?

You can race a train and you may even win.

You need to ask yourself what the penalty for failure is. Burning the car down? Watching friends or family BBQ in the back seat because you wanted to half ass it?

If I was sure I would get my kit back, I'd mail it to you for the repair. If your line isn't rusting to the point where it's crumbling, it can be rebuilt without removal unless you're just lazy and looking for the easy way out. You need to stop working on your car and take it to a professional. :/

since you put it that way im not going that route since i got a little son, its just frustrating since i put all that work to do it all over again,i guess ill find a good day to do it and go to parts store get that 1 o ring and retainer like i said it be worth it at the endcwm1

 

[BIGBODY 94]

Thanks nadacop

 

[coltonx3]

Lol thats a good point but I wouldent worry about it if you look at the oem conector in the line there real aint much holding it on the fuel sending unit line but that little clip you broke now wouldent a hose clap sound much better niw like I said you can do it with out the fuel line repair tool you can use a chalking gun and a brake flaring tool ill post nother post to show

 

[BIGBODY 94]

Or bouble up on the hose clamp? Ok i want to see

 

[coltonx3]

How about you think about that are radiator hoses are held on by clamps lol and there have a lot of pressure ill post tommrow cause I cand find my camera or I would do it rightt now

 

[BIGBODY 94]

Ok that will work,yea crazzy aint it,the fuel pump it only rated at 35-40 right? But the radiater brings up good point though

 

[1slow96]

got a fuel leak, is it the fuel line metal

Fuel pump pressure is around 70psi. You guys are just begging for problems. If the factory stuff isn't working for you. Then, adapters exist for converting to AN hose/fittings.

 

[NADACOP]

Sorry about that.

Chemo had me feeling pretty crappy last night and I was more harsh than I intended. I apologize for that.

When I was 17 I stopped by a friend's house right after they had just hauled her father away in the ambulance. He was trying to repair a fuel line in a K5 Blazer and found an ignition source that left him with two years worth of skin grafts on his arms, chest, back, and head. That lesson stuck with me.

Anyway, if you cut the metal end off of the nylon line I doubt that you would be able to get it over the metal feed line without some how softening up the nylon line. The only safe way would be to dip that end in a pot of boiling water. Even then I've got my doubts. The hose ends aren't clamped to the nylon line at all. They depend on the tight press fit between the nylon line and the fitting to keep them in place so it can't be easy to just slide them together.

I know re-doing the same job over and over sucks, but that's part of the learning process.

:facepalm:

 

[BIGBODY 94]

Learning process for sure,the crazzy thing is why they didnt have the same method as the fuel filter lines? I used my fingers to just press the clips inn and i came out super easy

 

[coltonx3]

exactly all are fittings are pushed in the nylon line then held on by they little clip to the sending unit or fuel filter crazy well heres my solution if you cant fix the o ring and clip i already have you the part number and this has had no leaks or anything in the last 5 months the line wont come off the new fitting the clamp is whats holding it on but its very tight i could have pushed the line more on the fitting but its hard i was to tired

 

[coltonx3]

i did mine by hand with some oil but here the way with the chalking gun i like the metal fitting on mine because its longer than the plastic one you see this guy using in the post
