Fuel Line

[drifter_for_life06]

Recently I noticed my car smelled like gas. The Culprit? Leaking fuel line from the fuel filter to the rail. No matter how hard i sinch the rubber hose down it still seems to leak, so im assuming its warped/cracked a small bit.

Anybody have any idea the size of the rubber hose i need to buy to replace it? Or if there is some other material that will work better and not crack over time?

ive been informed the line isa 5/8" line.

anyone know where i can get a stainless braided one to replace it?

No real need for braided, it'll be harder to work with. Just go to AutoZone and get rubber fuel line.

5/8th is correct and yeah just hit up a autozone or napaunless you want that really cool colored silicone **** thats way to damn expensive then knock your self out

Advance carries whatever diameter of rubber hose, for like $1/ft. Might be a little more, but very close to that.

Make sure you buy FUEL INJECTION hose, not Carburator hose. There is a large difference in price, and the non fuel injection hose is not certified to work with the fuel pressures found in a fuel injected car! You WILL create a fire hazard if you don't get the right hose.

True that. I dont trust that silicon hosing either.

the price difference is insignificant compaired with the possible danger.

When purchasing fuel hose specifically...price is about $2.00/ft. Or you can purchase a 25ft roll of Goodyear fuel hose for around $22-24. The hose is made specifically for gasoline and fuel injected engines, holding up to 175psi. Those prices were off of the Advance website.
