so ive got a fuel leak i could use some advice on.., here goes..
ive got an 89 gt and the fuel return line is leaking just infront of the tank, where the flexible hi pressue plastic line clips onto the metal fuel line , so im guessing that metal line has some rust , and the seal is not good, causing said leak.
one of my buddies recommended cutting off the femael plastic fitting and the male metal one as well, and using a metal barb to add more of that high pressue plastic fuel line stuff to mount to the metal line.. just not sure how that would seat to the smooth metal line?? i could flare it and use a hose clamp.. but that seems kinda hokey.
i dont really feel like replacing the whole line for just that fitting.
any thoughts on how to go to a flat metal line from that plastic stuff without that duckbill fuel fitting in place?
