MAJOR problem!!! Please help!!!

I changed my coil the other day and moved my fuel lines out of the way for better access on my 97 Z28. Long story short, I forgot to move them back and burned through two of my lines on my driver side header!!! Anything I can do to patch? I plan on getting them replaced, but don't want to pay 50 bucks for a tow truck. Thanks everybody!!!!!!!!!!

I live around you, but you burned through your fuel lines???? wow your lucky you didn't start one heck of a fire! I wouldn't risk patching them up. If I were you I would buy all new lines.

Buy the new lines and install them. You will need the fuel line disconect obviously.
I have no idea how you would patch them safely.

Maybe someone else has some ideas. Good Luck

Don't even try patching a fuel line. Buy new ones.

Why did you move the fuel lines?

Moved the lines just to get them out of my way. I was in limited lighting, and moving them gave me the light I needed. It almost gave me more light than I ever wanted to see too!! I'm on the phone w/ dealerships trying to get new lines right now. I think I'm gonna do it myself.

The lines come as a set and attach at the driver's seat under the car.
