How to repair a fuel line with the dorman repair kit

A follow up video for the Chevy silverado fuel pump replacement video I posted earlier. This one showing how I repair vinyl fuel lines and put new quick connects on the ends. Common issue with these trucks is the top of the fuel pump and the metal nipple going to the fuel line rusting out and leaking. If you have a silverado and smell gas this is the first place to check above the tank.

Thanks for sharing, an honest and very helpful review.

I have a faulty fuel line connector on fuel filter (o-ring broken). I cut out the connector from the nylon fuel tube and now have to to install another one. The problem is that I have to install connector on a fuel line which is already installed on a car (I cannot remove the whole fuel line). I planned to heat a fuel pipe with a heat blower (200 degC) and then put the connector on a pipe with hands because I do not have enough space to use any tool (fuel pipe is to short). Do you have any kind of suggestion and is it dangerous to manipulate with heath blower at 200 degC in close proximity of fuel tank.

Does that quick connect fit on a spectra fg05n sending unit 1987 c10 fuel injection?? I’m using a compression fitting to an-6. But rather use this if it works.

Will these connectors work with the plastic connections on the newer GM fuel pumps?

Not sure the exact connector you are referring to but they should. Most of these fuel line quick connects are the same.

@@Scottthesigncrafter I just got my kit today. It worked well. The only complaint is the squeeze gun is kinda junk and they don't give you very many of the connectors that you would typically use and a bunch of the ones that you wouldn't typically use.

$200.! You got screwed! Just buy anew line.

[@Scottthesigncrafter]

I've used it on 4 vehicles so far. It's more then paid for itself. If it's a one time thing for your own vehicle then yes buy a new line. They even make short lines with new ends you can splice on. But in my case it made more sense to buy the kit to have for multiple repairs. Also this repair takes 5 minutes where replacing a whole line would take a lot longer. So no, I didnt get screwed.
