1995BlueBeast · 02-04-2012, 06:12 PM

I had to order online and make it fit. Its not the most fun you will ever have but you can fix it.

Area6 · 02-04-2012, 07:06 PM

i baught some fuel line and fuel clamps im going to slide the rubber over the old hard plastic and fit a new valve in the rubber clamp clamp, forget about it

SPG · 02-05-2012, 02:51 AM

I'm assuming it's already too late for this now, but for future help on this what we usually do when they break at the shop is get a replacement of course but then you cut the hardline plastic down to the last rib of the 3 but make sure to leave the 3rd rib. It acts as a starting point for putting the new one on since the opening will be flared, we have a special tool that makes it easy by clamping the hardline and slowly pulling it on but I'd imagine it could be done with a certain pair of pliers as well if you took your time wiggling it in gently. Vaseline also helps, I even apply to the rubber o-rings before putting them back into the fuel pump so it might come out a little easier if I have to do a future repair.

Area6 · 02-05-2012, 04:15 AM

makes total sense, but yea to late i cut them all.. im pretty sure my plan will work tho or pretty hopeful

MR.E · 02-05-2012, 04:44 AM

I was so afraid of this happening to me when I did my fuel pump.

Area6 · 02-05-2012, 04:53 AM

i did the fuel pump put it back together to make sure the pump worked, started it went back into the back to tighten the ring and was talking to a fren and i didnt know what to say, it kind of made my heart drop

1995BlueBeast · 02-05-2012, 06:34 AM

Before taking out the fuel line I spray WD-40 all over the valve and O-rings. Then I pull straight up. The WD-40 acts as a lubricant and pulling straight up ensures the valve wont break. After breaking my first valve I always take forever to remove these valves now.

I know its a little late now but this is just for future reference.

Area6 · 02-22-2012, 05:26 PM
