@Jeff Williams, LonnieJohnson1 & DatBoi Kenny I hear you all !! My fuel Lines or Tubes didn't wanna come off. I sprayed them with some Blaster PB and let them sit overnight but the metal adapter going into the fuel filter was just too far gone. Great Video !! It helped me out a LOT. Thx, Tim B.
Hi. Thanks a lot for getting back to me. I ended up figuring out that tool but I wanted to say thanks for the video you made on you know heating up that that fitting or insert to go. You know to push that island on and melt it on there that works really good so keep up the good work, buddy.
awesome ty great video and very helpful. I'm replacing fuel ling going into back of fuel filter. The quick connect broke while removing it from fuel filter.
@@LonnieJohnson1 so I also replaced the metal line on the other side but more to the rear where the other bracket was at it was rusted out and started to leak. Should I just buy the line that goes all the way to the back or cut out that section and replace it too. Would two sections being repaired like that sound like a bad idea?
sir; thank you for your effort to show us the solution you made, just i want know if i can use brass or copper union not stainless steel which are available here.
What type of fuel line is this? I am not sure what my RV fuel line is made of. I am guessing rubber since a guy tried to fix and put a couple hose clamps on it. Can this work with rubber and do you have to use hose clamps? Thanks!
It's a hard plastic, not rubber. If you use rubber you will need to use a permanent clamp that wont work loose. Also depending on were the hose is connected you might get away with regular clamps. You don't want to have to take your gas tank back off if it starts leaking.
I need to do this, under the car too. Most videos only show how to do this on the bench. Great info here! Do you use the high or low setting on the heat gun? What do you reccomend to do if I don't use enough heat, and the barb on gets halfway on? Thanks 🍺👍!!
High heat for 30 sec. If you only have low heat I would add another 15 to 30 sec to the time. The barb will start cooling as soon as you insert the tube and needs to be fully inserted. Push it on as fast as you can, or you will have to pull it apart and repeat the process.
@@LonnieJohnson1 this video saved me at least $800, and was the best video I could find on how to install these type of connectors. They wanted $250 for the tow, and $550 to replace the whole line. I had a rabbit or a squirrel chew on my fuel line. As if that wasn't bad enough I'm lucky the car didn't catch on fire when I went to start it. Using a heat gun was the best way and I'm thankful for your video!
Yes any auto store or Amazon will have the clips they're called quick connectors. you just have to know the size of the fitting for your hose is it 5/16 3/8 etc
If your reading this I hope it’s not to late. My problem was the 90 degree couple kept getting blown away from the pressure in hindsight it failed to lock to the fuel pump. Bought the new piece and it’s hard to get on… so remove the locking piece from your new couple and place it on your old one and would believe works like new😅
Finally found a video of someone using one of these damn kits. They make a tool to do this but I'm not spending $100 for a tool all only use once. I was wondering if you could get by with a heat gun.
I tried using this method after a buddy of mine broke the quick connector coming outta the fuel filter, this "kit" is nothing more than a"band-aid", a VERY temporary "fix".......within 2 months, it somehow sprang a fuel leak while I was driving.....the cheap ass fuel line somehow sliid most of the way off of the metal insert, which naturally added about an inch and 1/2 of length to the line, and then it ended up getting crimped, which caused the fuel leak.....so, the money and effort saved by going this route was negated by the fact of being broke down at a traffic light in a high traffic areas and then the cost of the tow fee.....all around, just a complete half ass shortcut way of fixing the issue

I know what you mean.

You're welcome and let me know how it works for you.
Just messed up a small hose in my engine bay and didn't know how to go about it. Thanks!
You're welcome
I’ve been having a nightmare will try this thank you 🙏
Worked great for me, hope it works out for you.
Did it work?
@@LonnieJohnson1 mine is on half way on. Could I still heat it up and put it in like that?
Yes
@@LonnieJohnson1 so I also replaced the metal line on the other side but more to the rear where the other bracket was at it was rusted out and started to leak. Should I just buy the line that goes all the way to the back or cut out that section and replace it too. Would two sections being repaired like that sound like a bad idea?
Great video thank you sir
Thanks! and you're welcome.

Yes, you can
Thank you so much, I've been trying to boil water but it's not working. Got it half way...TY
Your welcome
Great idea💡👍👀❤️love it
Thanks
Follow up question is it stillworking🤔@@LonnieJohnson1
Yes
Thanks, Cool!
Works thanks had to do it on the car
Cool! Your welcome
Great video 👍
What if the fuel line is broken where the filter connects.
Thanks...and if it's the plastic line just cut the bad part away and reconnect them together with a barb.
Thank you Sir👍
You're welcome
Damn! I need to do this but up around the front passenger wheel to replace the connector to the fuel filter. Not a lot of room to work there.
I pull out as much as I could and later realized I could have un-clipped the complete line and pulled it out from under the truck.
What type of fuel line is this? I am not sure what my RV fuel line is made of. I am guessing rubber since a guy tried to fix and put a couple hose clamps on it. Can this work with rubber and do you have to use hose clamps? Thanks!

Is that the line going to the fuel pump? Can you do that to both the pressure line and return line?
How did you cut the old line?
It was leaking so I sliced it and connected a new line. It was the pressure line I fixed.
Hi how did you disconnect the fuel line at the union or factory split it was on the end of the piece you were holding at the end of your video
There is a tool you can purchase to remove the connector.
Very good.
Thanks

Cool!! glad it could help.
Good tip.

Did the barb come with the fuel line kit?
I purchased it at the same place i got the kit. It's made for it.
Had you tried the dorman shark bite fuel line connector?
They don't make one with the clip on connection to the fuel pump. You can get a union to join two lines together as you would do a slice.
So wait a minute, I don't need a compression fitting? And how is your new piece clamped on the old line? Or is it?
The fit is so tight it doesn't need a clamp.
god bless you
Thank you
My car's fuel injector's hose is leaking, is there a tape to fix it at least temporary or a stopgap measure?
If it's the injector then it could be under pressure and the line has failed.
How to figure out if it's under pressure? @@LonnieJohnson1
You said it was leaking at the injector, start there and see where the leak is.
It's leaking from the hose actually, it's cracked hose @@LonnieJohnson1
There is 2 sizes so which side it from the tank and which size to the engine ?
The package show what size I used
that barb came in the kit or you bought separately?
I purchased the barb separately at the same time I got the kit to make sure I had the right size.
Where do you get fuel line for 1993 Jeep Wrangler 4.0?? Line from door to engine. Return line
You can get it from Amazon and make it yourself. It comes with all the fittings.
@@LonnieJohnson1 thanks buddy
Your welcome
What do I do I I just need the end peice that clips on?
You can purchase a kit or just the end piece at Advanced Auto Parts. That's were I found mine.
Yes any auto store or Amazon will have the clips they're called quick connectors. you just have to know the size of the fitting for your hose is it 5/16 3/8 etc

Cool!
Seeing that you got metal on the knee you can use transmission clamps
I want to put it back the way it was.

I felt the same way. I will probably never have to do this again, but if I do, I'll do it this way.
Good s***my man
Thanks!
You can just use dry lube silicone spray on any line..
I tried that and it didn't work for me.

You ether heated the tube or you heated the barb for so long that it got too hot and melted the tube.
Show me it doesnt leak now
Mine don't leak and I'm not dropping my gas tank just to show you. If you do it right you don't have to worry about it leaking.
I was able to get the barb in without heat
Cool, I wish I could have done that. There is a tool you can buy that just pushes it together with no effort if you want to pay the price.
Lies!
Which part?
Without heat and used some type of tool or tools.
Bad idea gas and hair dryer boom 💥
Only if you put the dryer in the gas. Why would you do that? There shouldn't be any fumes unless you got a hole in the tank.
Havin a time with feul line repair on 94 Z28. PITA. Be sure to watch as many videos as possible. 🤯😩 All the posts are helpful
Cool!
