Cutting hard fuel line?
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.
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.
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?

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.
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.....
