yeah, that sucks. I'm really hoping that pb blaster can do something. Maybe it just needs to be soaked several days.

how much will it cost me to replace the entire line and how hard is it to fix?

 

What do you guys think of this Dorman fuel line repair kit? It looks like I would just cut the line and then put attach this line with compression fitting. How reliable is that?

 

i ran into the same problem you did the 1st time i changed my fuel filter...i ended up get using 2 really good vise-grips to break em free...mangled the nut but i got it off...Ive changed it twice since then and not a problem changing it...i wouldnt worry about it that much and just muscle it loose

 

The fittings are in such bad shape I'm not sure I want to re-use them.

I like that fuel repair kit. Hoping that PB blaster is doing some work tonight. I'm going to give it one more go tomorrow. I don't have a vice grip on hand, wish I did.

I'd really be up a **** creek if the fuel line twisted or broke. Long term solution to me is to replace the whole line.

 

I use compression fittings everyday at work, I would say that 3 out of every 10 installed leak and have to be replaced right away. However this is under more pressure than your fuel system.

 

Success guys!

Fuel pump is no longer buzzing.

I couldn't blow any air thru the filter no matter how hard I tried. I also put water thru it and nothing came out the other end. My fuel pump must have been trying to pump thru a brick wall. I can only hope it really didn't shorten the lifespan of the pump.

 

Wow, that was seriously clogged. Hopefully you caught it on time.

 

It started buzzing earlier this week. I didn't drive it much.

 

good deal!

 

Did you mess any of the lines up in the process?
