[Shop-talk] hard fuel line replacement

[Pat Horne]

Tim,

If the truck has fuel injection it would not be a good idea to patch it. If
carburetor, a rubber hose would be fine.

Peace,
Pat

Subject: [Shop-talk] hard fuel line replacement

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!
tim
