fuel filter line help
Car that I bought came with a jacked up fuel line that goes into the filter. After getting everything ready to start for the first time I heard the fuel pouring out of the line between the bolt that goes into the filter and the fuel line.. the line also has damage. Is there anything I can do thats simple?
So far ive been told;
1) buy all new lines...
2) cut reflare (double flare) and new bolt and bend lines so it reaches filter...
3) find a nipple filter, cut the bad line back and then use a rubber hose..
#1 is out of the question...
#2 I have 0 experience with flaring fuel lines and am not confident that the line thats left will bend that far to actually get it to thread on the filter sqaure...
#3 ive been told I need special hose and you get gas fumes.. also is a more expensive option
Either way im at a loss and if anyone has any insite.. my phone never lets me use the search funtion and I dont have a computer that isnt under the knife atm.. thanks for any help...
