EGR tube too short and broken fuel line

Yes ... an adapter was all you needed to get connected

You can make a tube out of soft copper found at your local Home Depot,
Lowes, etc, store

You'll need a flair tool to flair each end of your home made tube

You use the orginal fittings ... but ... you may need to replace the one
that has buggered up threads

any thoughts on the fuel line?

The stock fuel lines are hard nylon with a rubber sleeve over them. The nylon cracks/splits under the rubber sleeve and it's hard to tell just by looking at them.

A couple options.....

-Buy the adapters and AN fittings and make up some braided new ones.

-Slice the hose off of the stock fuel line end fittings and pick up some Goodyear EFI fuel line at your local autoparts store and press it on to the barbs of the stock fittings. Maybe use an EFI clamp for security, but I've heard that hose fits on the barbs pretty tight.

-Find someone who is parting out a '94/5 or someone that has replaced their lines with braided lines and still have the stock ones. That link on the corral for the group buy on the Russel fittings got quite a few members to upgrade their stock lines to braided AN lines. I was one of them. I have 2 sets of stock lines, but 1 is cracked just like yours and the other I just took off about a month ago. It was a little difficult to get off, the O ring was sticking a bit inside the connector. After twisting and pulling I finally got it off. It appears OK but it's hard to be certain that it's not cracked/broken now too.

As far as the EGR tube goes, I don't run one now, but I used to and I made my own with soft copper tubing. You can bend that by hand. I forgot what size to use, I think it's something like 1/2" OD or 5/8" OD, not sure exactly. I have mine on a shelf in the garage and can take a look and measure later tonight. I think I still have some of the roll of soft copper tubing also.
