TBI Fuel Line Help
I found out today that my 1987 R10 DD has a rusted out fuel line and leaks as well as spaying fuel all over the bottom of the truck. It has a fuel injected 4.3 V6 and I cant seem to find any replacement fuel lines. Can I got from the TBI to a braided steel line with AN fittings ? What fittings do I need to come out of the throttle body and sending unit ?

Re: TBI Fuel Line Help
These systems don't run much pressure like 12-14psi.. but yes they make adapters idk what size you need but they should be just flare fittings.. you could always buy bulk line and flare ends n new fittings would cost a lot less

Re: TBI Fuel Line Help
Actually, Advance sells these fittings(they call it fuel line repair by dorman) , to go to the braided hoses, and fuel filter. They sell 5-6 ft length brake / fuel line in all 3/8,5/8, and 1/4 inch line combined with the " fuel line repair" is all that you should need. I used a tool that makes these types of crimps /flare (master cool), but i paid $300 for it...

Re: TBI Fuel Line Help
Low87, I was freaking out since I have nothing to drive. In the end the FB answers were what I used. This site is still very helpful, Thank you everyone !

Re: TBI Fuel Line Help
LOL, I hear you. I love squares but sometimes they suck as DDs. That morning you go out running late for work and the dang thing won't start. Or, a weekend project runs over into Monday.
Just remember when you're out driving your truck that's 20+ years older than most anything else on the road - If it was easy, anyone could do it.
