Alright well my fuel pump took a crap and I believed I had a fuel leak somewhere and I finally found it with the tank on the ground. One of the supply lines to the fuel filter had a crack in it so I'm replacing the fuel lines on the whole thing. The connections for the other lines were getting pretty nasty so why not take care of an issue now before it causes one.

My question is is there an easy way to get the front fuel lines out once they are disconnected? I've got them all unhooked but I'm having trouble getting them out from above the tranny. Is there a mount that I'm missing? I took the one off the block right by the tranny but can't seem to get them out. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

There is a couple bolts on top of engine, I only remember the one in injector housing, and one by distributor. Lower than that I haven't worked with

Good luck

my 98 has 2 on top of the tranny

 

My 96 has 2 that connect at the back of the engine.I took all the fuel lines off and replaced them along with the brake lines.The upper half of the lines were fine.I spliced the new replacement lines onto those using compression fittings.Then I routed my lines off to the side of the trans to the frame and along it to the gas tank.

 

I've got it disconnected behind distributor and can see the ends of the lines so I know its disconnected from the motor but there are 2 on tranny? Any good way of getting to them? I found the one thats just a clamp like what holds a brake line on the control arm but other than that I can't see anything.

Thanks for the help btw.

if it were mine, i'd cut the old lines on each side of the clamp, then not even use the clamp on the new lines, but thats me, im cheap & lazy... HA!

 

If you have them disconnected at the engine,then crawl underneith to where you can find those two lines cut them off.Then you can pull the lines out.The 2 lines are larger than than the rest of the lines under there.Do what I did,cut the bad part of the lines off.Splice the new line with compression fittings.Route your lines away from the trans to the side of the frame and run them back to the gas tank.

 

I cut them last night they came right out once I did. Any tips on getting factory ones back in? Picked up a brand new set from a local mechanic for a case of miller light lol hoping to use them. By the way it looks they will go in from the top because of the crazy bend when it gets to the firewall.

 

I know you can prefabbed brake lines coming off the master cylinder with curls in them but Im not sure about the fuel lines.The line is easy to bend and make curves in.If they are rusted all the way to the tank you will have to drop it to get to that part of the fuel lines.

 

I got the new factory ones in. Had to drop my transmission crossmember and it gave me enough room to slide the new lines in. Just got all the parts in for the lines but now I'm waiting on the filler neck hose the rubber one before I can throw the tank back up. Hopefully I can find one.
