Broken Fuel Line

[Regalnomics]

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a new steel fuel line? The one that is connected to the carburetor.

It's likely either a junkyard only item or something that you will need to fabricate yourself. BTW, you did not specify which engine you need the line from.

if you have to have a steel line, get tubing, bend it yourself, put fittings on it and flare the ends. i wouldn't bother though. just get some good rubber ful line..

oh the line is for a 85 buick regal 3.8L v6

like mentioned either buy some tubing from any autoparts place and bend/flare it yourself...or cut out the rotted part (or leaking for whatever reason) and use a good rubber hose and a couple of clamps... the mechanical pumps only run about 8psi of pressure...even if its fuel injected they make rubber hose that is good to about 50 psi.

with hose and clamps...you're about 4 dollars and 20 mins into the repair

Just be sure that if you use rubber that you keep the rubber section at least 1/2 in from any object it could rub against. Otherwise, the vibrations from the engine and the road may eventually wear a hole in the line and cause another leak.
