Fuel Lines....

The flexible part of the feed line from my tank has been mischieviously (sp?) cut...I need to replace it. The dealer lists the part as discontinued, and napa says they can't get connectors to make a new one. Other than a junkyard any ideas? It has 2 female 3/8" connectors on it that take a line w/ O-Rings...
Thanks
btw GM part number is 10039859 is discontinued, and no dealer in the country has one in stock...

You can use hi pressure fuel lines and one or two fuel line clamps.



Just pretend that my pump isn't there, and imagine a new rubber hi pressure fuel line is in it's place.

You could cut the steel fuel line, flare it, then put on -6 tube nut and sleeve then run braided line from there, or find a way to use the rest of the rubber line using a male to male connector with s clamps on each side and use high pressure rubber line.

Sorry if this is 'jacking' the thread, but when you installed the external pump, did you leave the internal one in place? I'm curious since I think the '91 needs a new pump anyway.

I didn't have an internal pump. My car was originally carbed.
