Steel Fuel Line Repair
- Cut a piece of fuel hose 100 mm (4 in) longer than the section of line to be removed. If you remove more than 152 mm (6 in), use a combination of steel pipe and hose. The hose length should not be more than 2154 mm (10 in) total.
- With a tube cutter, cut a section of the pipe to replace. Use the first step on the reamer to form a bead on the ends of the pipe and, also, on the new section of pipe, if used.
- Slide the hose clamps onto the pipe and push the hose 51 mm (2 in) onto each portion of the fuel pipe. Tighten a clamp on each side of the repair.
- Secure fuel line to the frame.
- Check for leaks.
