Where can I buy this fuel line.

So I removed the bench seat to do some floor work and noticed this dent in the fuel line. What does this line do and where would I buy? Thanks.

That is a vapor/vent line. Leave it as is or cut out the bent part and install a rubber fuel hose for a patch.

If you can't locate, or even if you can, why not fit a patch with 2 brass compression coupler fittings. It's not high pressure so you don't need to flair. If you have my luck, the tube is probably 5/16 and a PITA to find.

If you are looking to keep it original, or as close as you can, cut it right in the wounded area, straighten with a brass hammer and punches, and braze after fixing the dent.

I wouldn't mess with it, as only vapors should be in it. There's a large enough cross section for vapors.

You can get a 6" double flare extension bend a 90 radius in the extension. Then cut and flare the existing line to fit the 90. Else, you're into it for fabricating a whole new line; Which is no big deal, you have a template with all the bend already. :chevy:

NPD or other vendor will have it.
