[Shop-talk] hard fuel line replacement

[Tim .]

Hi all

One of the fuel lines on my rusty crusty old S10 has rusted to the point that
it weeps/leaks when the engine is running. Since this truck has well over 210K
miles on it and it soon to be retired to part hauler status, I'd like to not
spend any money on this fix. Can I get away with just cutting out a foot or so
of hard line and replacing it with rubber fuel line? Or will the rubber line
not handle the pressure?

Thanks!
