I need to replace that hard line that connects both sides of the fuel tank, on an early body. The pipe busted from all that snowfall that the northeast just got. I cracked one side loose, but the other side hasn't budged yet (rotten to hell). I might not be able to break it loose, without damaging the tank. I'd love to put a torch to it, but I am not that stupid.
Now that one side is off and broken, I tried to slip some OE 8mm fuel hose over the broken end, but that pipe is just a little too big. Is there a "size up" fuel hose that might fit?
I wish I could just slip hose over the one end, and then source a replacement ball and cup style fitting, and reconnect, and be good to go.
I could also, shoot the moon, hit the parts counter first thing in the morning, and order the pipe, and hopefully it doesnt take 2 weeks to get it. Then I am still left fighting that other fitting that hasn't loosened up!
