They list it for 340.00, maybe Wayne will match or beat it.

John, it is an easy rebuild. Behind the factory crimps are nipples on each end of the hose. Hence, regular fuel-injection line can be used with fuel-injection clamps. I have since put 1000 miles on my rebuild.

Just an FYI

Lets find three or four "cores," overhaul them and switch them out as they start to leak on our cars. If we could find a few old units to use as cores they could be overhauled and kept ready as needed.

I like to support Wayne and Pelican but some F.I. hose under three feet long and six crimped ends are just not worth $350+ in my book! This is not rocket science here!

gibson, thanks, that's the one. i know they can be rebuilt, but the customer wants a new one.

This is the post I had in the past on this fuel line.

3.2L with huge gas leak -- how bad?

That special is now over so it's back to the "normal" price of $340.

Hope this helps

John,

Could I buy the old fuel line when you get it out?

Will start a "overhaul program" myself and after changing mine out will be happy to do the same for other guys.

Thx,

Joe

Nick, how did you cut off the factory crimps? Dremel tool? And what exactly are "fuel injection clamps?"

[Joeaksa]

Kurt,

On any hose like this you can usually cut off the crimps using a dremel or very fine hand saw. Then take it to a good hose shop, diesel truck places usually have them. They have fuel hose that can replace the stock hose and with the same or higher pressure ratings and crimp them on and pressure test them at the same time.

You can also use stainless steel hose like is used on the race cars but the covering is only for show. Only problem I could see with this type of hose is that you cannot see the outside of the hose, and thus cannot see when its getting old. Only way is when it actually starts leaking, and then it may be too late.

FI clamps are the ones that many car makers use on their individual injectors to hold the hose. Much higher quality and have never had any problems with them, but would prefer a crimped hose.
