Cutting hard fuel line?
 

Does anybody have a good way to cut the hard fuel line? I have a section that is leaking that i want to cut and replace with rubber injection hose.

dremel

ill take a stab at this and say get a tubing cutter. something like this http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=00951250000
as always make sure to debur the end so you dont get little metal bits ripping off and getting jammed in an injector

The thing is, I don't wanna set my car on fire from the sparks that cutting it with a dremel will make. And I don't have much room to turn a tubing cutter around in there.

really your only option is using a tubing cutter anything else is half-assed, or dangerous, or you could just go pull the entire hardline out of a junkyard car

I found a small tubing cutter that my dad had and I was able to bend the line down far enough and I got it cut. Thanks guys.

Do I need to flare out the end of the metal line where I attach the rubber line to? Or can I just push it on there pretty far and double clamp it?

You'll want to straighten the end out so the flow is still decent. Don't forget to clean it off so that little metal pieces don't get jammed into a injector.

haha silly me, i assumed you would take it out of the car and drain it before dremeling. if you werent going to clean off a newly cut metal you don't belong cutting metal. glad you got it sorted out.

One more question. Can I use regular fuel line on the return line or should I use injection line on it too? Cause injection line is expensive and hard to find.

as long as its fuel compatible, low pressure line for the return is fine. Usually though its hard to find fuel compatibile line now-a-days that ISN'T high pressure.....
