For some reason my gas lines were on my manifolds and the burned through the protector and burned like a needle size hole in one of my fuel line.. How do you think I should fix this problem..? I was think of getting epoxy and sealing if.. But if I do that what can I use to remove the gas off the out side so I can let it cure… please help me out ASAP!! On and incase you need to know I have a 94 lt1.. ( do any have a picture of where the fuel line should lay? I don’t know how they got moved around and I'm scared to just lay them anywhere)

 

DO NOT EPOXY the fuel lines. REPLACE.

The line should not be laying on the engine. There is a support clip/ring on the throttle linkage cover that is supposed to hold them up above the engine, to prevent them from melting from the heat. There have been fires from broken supports.

This is an old pic that shows where they are supposed to be. My support clip broke, so I used a nylon tie to keep the hose bundle up against the throttle linkage cover:

why not use epoxy.. and can i raplace the lines my sely or would you say take it to the dealer?

 

You can replace the lines yourself. They come as a unit from under the driver's seat to the engine. Probably a dealer item. Part number is listed on my parts page. Patching the lines is dangerous.

 

Did you ever see a car burn???

REPLACE THE LINES, DO NOT PATCH THEM!!!

Theres new slicing barbs avaiable at autozone and pep boys now. They require you to heat the fittings up and slip them into the fuel lines. It works quite well, as the same technique is used when installing a vortech supplimental fuel pump that comes in thier LT1 kits.

You really ought to carry a fire extinguisher until you get the problem fix.. Or better yet, don't drive the car.

 

New fuel lines are like $15 from the dealer. Get new ones.

 

IF they are that cheap than definately get them.. And make sure they dont' burn this time!

 

Replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. That's what I paid Jason for it.

Here is the picture you asked for.

 

Off the subject, but where did you get the ignition system and how much?

That looks horrible, for the sake of those around you quit drivint the car unti you fix it

 

do youhave a picture ,part number or something i can look for in the store?

 

Its usually in the help section, ask the guy where the fuel injection fittings and such are located.

Your going to spend about $9 bucks on that, might as well buy the entire lines.. since they are so cheap.

 

I agree on replacing the lines, but I replaced mine last year and they were around $100 from the local dealership. Had to have them though, otherwise I'd of ordered from one of the online dealers. Are they really going for $15 these days???

Note to self...check where you're drilling when installing a rollcage!
