I wanted to update you on the fuel line repair on my blazer ZR2, started this morning as one of the factory steel lines were corroded and squirting fuel, did everything you explained with the hose and clamps, cut out the rusted piece but thier were 2 additional lines side by side, 3 total, as I was finishing the other 2 started leaking lol, long story short, fixed them the exact same way and no leaks, drove it about 30 miles today and doing great. I couldn’t be more pleased as the gas fumes were getting to me haha, total cost for hose and 6 clamps under $20 bucks, thanks for sharing your knowledge and saving me money i really didn’t have to pay the big mechanics, I truly appreciate your channel 👍

Just did this on a 1993 Nissan Maxima and it cost me 5.28 for some fuel hose and a couple of clamps. Very easy to do and took around 30 minutes. Thankfully it worked as Nissan doesnt make fuel lines for that car anymore!!! And yes youtube is great for stuff like this, thanks for posting!

I love CZcams for this kind of stuff. This fuel line repair could have cost in the upwards of $600 if done by a local garage. It just cost me $12. Leak is fixed!!! It's an old car, do I care if it doesn't get an original hose replacement? Hell no. Thank you for sharing this simple but useful advice.

yea tell me about it this fucken mechanic want's to charge me $345.00 so i told him im not paying that much for 1hour work & 2.00 of material these fucken mechanics are freakin wakos . what would you do in my case would you pay or not ! i didn't i told him that unless he comes up with a better price im not giving him a dime & on top of that he didn't give me a price before hand
Lol....that's so awesome. I'm glad it helped...this is definitely an amazing alternative. Thanks for commenting, Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it.
Wow 4 years old and I’m having a issue with a leaking fuel line on 88 caprice in 2020 and u just saved me a big headache trying too get that metal fuel line in the vehicle thanks a ton you definitely earned a subscriber
Thanks so much for having this video uploaded on CZcams.. I found it to be helpful. A while back on my first used car, one of the rubber fuel lines had a rip in it and I lost all of my gas. :( I replaced it the same way, with a rubber hose. It worked flawlessly. I didn't have trouble the remaining years I had the car. Now, I have another used car and one nylon plastic fuel line was bad. I used a rubber hose, to attach to the nylon plastic fuel line after I cut it. I had messed up slightly and I had a lot of trouble taking the rubber hose off from nylon plastic fuel line. That was a good sign that it was stuck on there pretty good with the barb gripped adapters. If it could withstand me trying to pull it apart, it should be able to withstand high fuel pressure with no problem too. I used those metal clamps too with flathead screw on it, just to be sure. I have a good feeling that quick fix aint going to fail so easily on it's own. I'll be putting my gas tank back on later today. Oh yeah the barb adapters and rubber hose was like $12 all together. I already had metal clamps.
The Viewer That’s awesome! We love hearing experiences like yours! We also have had great luck with this style of rubber hose! We were on our way to town one morning & same thing happened to us...lost all the fuel 😆 We put this hose on, clamped it in place, & it also worked flawlessly for the remaining 2 years we owned the car!

What he should say is: buy "FUEL INJECTOR" hose, not just reinforced "rubber" hose. Also use FUEL INJECTOR HOSE clamps. not just normal screw hose clamps. I like his comment about flaring the end of your metal, helps to keep hose from slipping.

Great how to video ! Just alittle extra to your video : People If your replacing your rusted lines with rubber hose Please do your homework on the PSI of your lines Many people rush out and buy Rubber fuel lines from Hardware stores Only to find they are not for fuel injection cars However they are for Lawnmovers and other low PSI engines And will burst after little use. The line should say "Fuel injection" with a rating on it Clamps : If you go with normal gear worm clamps Double up on each line end But DO NOT over tighten them As they will dig into the rubber and spilt it Or you will warp the clamp And it will not seat and loosen over time A better line would be Nylon line : A little more money And more of a level 2 backyard mechanic of work to install You will need to be able to insert connectors into the lines which are very tight fitting And need to be pre-heated and lubed to insert And then sealed The final is that it has a very good PSI rating, Does not rust, And does not dry up and crack over time like rubber lines

Good stuff. Make sure though you use the right rating for what you need. SAE 30R6 and 30R7 are for carbureted systems, low fuel pressure systems, or fuel-injection systems that produce pressures lower than 50 psi. Anything higher should use SAE 30R9 which can hold up to 180 psi and 300 degrees.

I would use the proper sized constant tension clamps instead of worm clamps they are not much more expansive and would make it easier, the later may leak with improper tensioning and/or cut into the hose if overtightened and also doesn't take into account thermal expansion/contraction

This is exactly what I'm doing for my dad's gmc everything is just so rusted dropped the tank because the feed line rusted out got a new fuel pump and cleaned the tank I took all lines off and replacing with rubber fuel hoses and hose claps it looks good and if something else happens it's easier to deal with that rusted line and the plastic fuel clips

Very helpful video, thanks man!! So my 02 blazer ZR2 started spraying fuel behind the driver side tire, when the vehicle isn’t running it doesn’t leak luckily but once I start it the pressure allows it to start spraying, I can actually see the metal line dripping/spraying, gonna give this a shot, wish me luck lol.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders i found some 350 psi Russell blue braided hose at auto zone that says it is specifically for fuel, anti freeze etc plumbing, so I’ll be visiting auto zone today to grab a piece and some clamps, ready to get this done lol.
ive done this works great i also did it on my old crown vics transmission line as it had started leaking it worked great on that to i worked the hose pretty far on both sides of metal tubing and double clamped never had a leak or problem with it after that always the plastic clamped areas that leak.

What i learned is shove the gas line on farther and use 3 or 4 good hose clamps my gas filter nipples are 3/8 then the steel gas line is i believe between 5/16 it says its 5/16 on the truck parts but its not on the truck i matched up the 5/16 hose i have the hose looks a tiny bit bigger than the line so I'll figure something out So put your new rubber Briggs gas line on the existing gas line about 3 inches over the line and clamp put you some lubrication on the metal line first so it'll slip on good then you can clamp it up But i read and seen that the fuel injection hose clamps work good on braided fuel line im about to see if it really does or was those reviews i read lying about the those clamps i have to do ours this way i don't own every tool to make it the right way a crimper
Those types of clamps don't work around braided nylon hose from the fuel filter to either end of the gas line going to the engine or to the tank i get it so tight then those cheap clamps pop then i say its stripped then take the clamp off and try another and it pops because they're cheap clamps not made to hold gas lines on they'll work on a riding mower and other stuff but don't on nylon hoses
Definitely will be doing this rusted fuel rail hose right under my drivers seat I honestly believe I had it for a long time and it finally showed itself in the winter

I really hope you still reply. I’m having issues with a Buick constant fuel line. The ones one the engine. Thing is that the front hose it’s made of aluminum and rubber and I just can’t connect the new connector in. I try heating it and it bubble the outside of the hose. Try boiling it and nothing . I can just cut the whole line but idk if it will make a difference since the old hose it’s made out of aluminum and rubber on the outside . Or i can buy the repair kit but I would still be trying to get the hose to connect . Any advice ?
Oscar Thanks for watching & sharing your experience Oscar. Great question & let’s get this figured out! These rubber hoses are great & extremely convenient & friendly on the bank account. It’s very possible that you will need the next size up hose. We recommend visiting your local AutoZone & purchasing the hose. It’s very important that you purchase actual fuel pressure rated hoses with the braded design as shown in this video to ensure proper reliability. AutoZone will have a few different sizes & you may find it easier to purchase a few different size hoses & use what fits & return what doesn’t. Let’s start there, keep us posted!

My Tacoma puch-lock got discinnected on it's own?? I puch it bacl into the line and I wonder if I could just cut the puch-lock part and do the same, clamp it up.
Thanx for the video bud. BUT I would suggest not do this on a pick up truck, the pressure is much greater than on a smaller vehicle like a toyota it may work for a short time, but is causing a potentially dangerous situation in the near future.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment! This is a great alternative & It’s important to refer to your owners manual/specs to obtain your specific fuel line pressure limits. It’s also a good idea to contact your local dealership to verify psi limits! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your CZcams notification Bell that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩

Ross Munn Thanks for checking out the video Ross. That’s a great question and asked a lot. As you know, the fuel system is a pressurized system during operation...it is always recommended & safer to Double Flare the tips.

We sure are and thanks for watching. Sizes range from 1/8” - 5/8” with 1/4” being the most common. Best thing to do is cut away the bad portion of your brake line and take it with you to your local AutoZone where they can match it to the size best suitable for your system. Keep us posted on your DIY project.

One would think the A$$holes at the OEM could design and build cars with rubber fuel lines instead of metal fuel lines that will last the life of the car. But then how are they going to steal the consumer's hard earned money if they do that? and how are the dealerships and auto repair shops going to stay in business?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing I guess my question is I just have to buy new couplers and plastic connectors to connect the fuel pump all the way to the front of the engine? How many rubber hoses would I need to buy for a 1997 Pontiac Firebird?
Jeff Wardlow Thanks for watching & great question. We recommend purchasing a brand new roll of hose. You can purchase rolls at your local AutoZone...you may find it best to purchase a roll of hose & then measure out what you need at home & cut the hose to your liking. Also, at the front near the checkout computers at AutoZone are little hose clamps. We recommend purchasing the clamps that have the little tightening bolt on them.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I cut the line out where it was leaking. Discovered another leak while working on it and took that length out as well. The problem on these chevy's is they clamp the gasline in place with a plastic brackets which they probably do for safety and what happens is salt, sand, grit, build up and eventually wear a pin hole into the metal line. I used your rubber hose method and for what I use that truck for it works. Thank you for the video.

cody smyth Thanks for watching. Glad to help. If you are replacing your old fuel lines with new lines, they are all very similar. This rubber hose option is a great way to fix a small rusted portion of hose.

it is not fine to install rubber hose with non flare metal fuel line pipe, don't mislead people, it is a matter of safety do the job well or let a mechanic do it for you, if the fuel line leaks and shoot toward the muffler, it may cause fire burn and may cause the whole car to get burned to the ground, you have to flare the metal pipe, no way around, before installing the rubber hose and then secure with clamps, behind the flare that will prevent rubber hose from slipping by pressure, if you don't flare the pipe, you will risk that the rubber hose will get slipped out by pressure, anytime.

I'm wondering why the car manufacturers bother nstalling expensive steel fuel lines instead of the cheaper rubber line like you describe...there must be a reason.
The steel lines last longer. The rubber lines provide a more economical friendly option for vehicles however can lead to dry rotting over years rather than rusting. The rubber hose MUST EPA certified due to the ethanol in gas. Ethanol can eat the hose if you buy a non-EPA approved line 😀👍
Thanks for the video. Some folks use gas tank additives like Gumout, Seafoam, etc. Any concerns that these products could compromise the replacement line material?

Michael Borders Im conflicted though because I've read you shouldn't use anymore than 6 inches of the hose because gas breaks it down over time. Would 5 feet of it be safe?
Well i have a motorcycle that had rust in tje gas tank in it so i cut the lines off because they wouldnt come off i needed them off put vinegar and dog chain in it let it sit for a couple days and shook it up so i need new lines now lol

Logan Stewart Very cool...I chose the connections clamps that have the 8mm bolt...as shown in video. I really like these clamps. This allowed me to tighten the clamps to my satisfaction. As you know, your fuel system is a pressurized system while engine is running...and because of that, I stayed away from the clamps that don’t have self-tightening capabilities. Keep me posted Logan 🔧🔨🔩😎
Logan Stewart I used a Flaring Kit that I purchased at AutoZone. I Double Flared the tip. Flaring is pretty simple...you’ll just need the kit...it’s possible that AutoZone will rent the kit..I’m not sure though.

DJ Allen Its best to Flare your fuel line tip. I have a few videos if you visit my playlist "How to fix cars" and click on video that shows how to Bubble / Flare fuel lines. 😀👍
leadweight guy Thanks for the reply, I flared the end of the hard line that connected to the rubber hose. This gave the hose a flare lip to secure itself to as well as gave the clamp something to firmly rest against. HOWEVER....I inly did that once and just firmly secured clamps over hose and onto hard line and never ran into a leak. A friend of mine ran into a leak when he over tightened the clamp on the hose and the clamp ate through the hose causing leak. All and All I love this rubber hose option as it's extremely friendly when maneuvering in and out of small areas as well as having to bend, twist, and finagle those lines into position haha.

I wanted to update you on the fuel line repair on my blazer ZR2, started this morning as one of the factory steel lines were corroded and squirting fuel, did everything you explained with the hose and clamps, cut out the rusted piece but thier were 2 additional lines side by side, 3 total, as I was finishing the other 2 started leaking lol, long story short, fixed them the exact same way and no leaks, drove it about 30 miles today and doing great. I couldn’t be more pleased as the gas fumes were getting to me haha, total cost for hose and 6 clamps under $20 bucks, thanks for sharing your knowledge and saving me money i really didn’t have to pay the big mechanics, I truly appreciate your channel 👍

Wow 4 years old and I’m having a issue with a leaking fuel line on 88 caprice in 2020 and u just saved me a big headache trying too get that metal fuel line in the vehicle thanks a ton you definitely earned a subscriber
Thanks so much for having this video uploaded on CZcams.. I found it to be helpful. A while back on my first used car, one of the rubber fuel lines had a rip in it and I lost all of my gas. :( I replaced it the same way, with a rubber hose. It worked flawlessly. I didn't have trouble the remaining years I had the car. Now, I have another used car and one nylon plastic fuel line was bad. I used a rubber hose, to attach to the nylon plastic fuel line after I cut it. I had messed up slightly and I had a lot of trouble taking the rubber hose off from nylon plastic fuel line. That was a good sign that it was stuck on there pretty good with the barb gripped adapters. If it could withstand me trying to pull it apart, it should be able to withstand high fuel pressure with no problem too. I used those metal clamps too with flathead screw on it, just to be sure. I have a good feeling that quick fix aint going to fail so easily on it's own. I'll be putting my gas tank back on later today. Oh yeah the barb adapters and rubber hose was like $12 all together. I already had metal clamps.

What he should say is: buy "FUEL INJECTOR" hose, not just reinforced "rubber" hose. Also use FUEL INJECTOR HOSE clamps. not just normal screw hose clamps. I like his comment about flaring the end of your metal, helps to keep hose from slipping.

We appreciate you writing us, thank you. We are honored to help. 👍🧰
Great how to video ! Just alittle extra to your video : People If your replacing your rusted lines with rubber hose Please do your homework on the PSI of your lines Many people rush out and buy Rubber fuel lines from Hardware stores Only to find they are not for fuel injection cars However they are for Lawnmovers and other low PSI engines And will burst after little use. The line should say "Fuel injection" with a rating on it
Clamps : If you go with normal gear worm clamps Double up on each line end But DO NOT over tighten them As they will dig into the rubber and spilt it Or you will warp the clamp And it will not seat and loosen over time
A better line would be Nylon line : A little more money And more of a level 2 backyard mechanic of work to install You will need to be able to insert connectors into the lines which are very tight fitting And need to be pre-heated and lubed to insert And then sealed The final is that it has a very good PSI rating, Does not rust, And does not dry up and crack over time like rubber lines

Good stuff. Make sure though you use the right rating for what you need. SAE 30R6 and 30R7 are for carbureted systems, low fuel pressure systems, or fuel-injection systems that produce pressures lower than 50 psi. Anything higher should use SAE 30R9 which can hold up to 180 psi and 300 degrees.

I would use the proper sized constant tension clamps instead of worm clamps they are not much more expansive and would make it easier, the later may leak with improper tensioning and/or cut into the hose if overtightened and also doesn't take into account thermal expansion/contraction

What i learned is shove the gas line on farther and use 3 or 4 good hose clamps my gas filter nipples are 3/8 then the steel gas line is i believe between 5/16 it says its 5/16 on the truck parts but its not on the truck i matched up the 5/16 hose i have the hose looks a tiny bit bigger than the line so I'll figure something out
So put your new rubber Briggs gas line on the existing gas line about 3 inches over the line and clamp put you some lubrication on the metal line first so it'll slip on good then you can clamp it up
But i read and seen that the fuel injection hose clamps work good on braided fuel line im about to see if it really does or was those reviews i read lying about the those clamps i have to do ours this way i don't own every tool to make it the right way a crimper
Should be recommending "high pressure fuel line clamps" they are different in their clamping.

Those types of clamps don't work around braided nylon hose from the fuel filter to either end of the gas line going to the engine or to the tank i get it so tight then those cheap clamps pop then i say its stripped then take the clamp off and try another and it pops because they're cheap clamps not made to hold gas lines on they'll work on a riding mower and other stuff but don't on nylon hoses

I’m having issues with a Buick constant fuel line. The ones one the engine.
Thing is that the front hose it’s made of aluminum and rubber and I just can’t connect the new connector in. I try heating it and it bubble the outside of the hose. Try boiling it and nothing .
I can just cut the whole line but idk if it will make a difference since the old hose it’s made out of aluminum and rubber on the outside .
Or i can buy the repair kit but I would still be trying to get the hose to connect .
Any advice ?
Oscar
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience Oscar. Great question & let’s get this figured out!
These rubber hoses are great & extremely convenient & friendly on the bank account. It’s very possible that you will need the next size up hose.
We recommend visiting your local AutoZone & purchasing the hose. It’s very important that you purchase actual fuel pressure rated hoses with the braded design as shown in this video to ensure proper reliability.
AutoZone will have a few different sizes & you may find it easier to purchase a few different size hoses & use what fits & return what doesn’t.
Let’s start there, keep us posted!

Thanx for the video bud. BUT I would suggest not do this on a pick up truck, the pressure is much greater than on a smaller vehicle like a toyota it may work for a short time, but is causing a potentially dangerous situation in the near future.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment! This is a great alternative & It’s important to refer to your owners manual/specs to obtain your specific fuel line pressure limits.
It’s also a good idea to contact your local dealership to verify psi limits!

Would a single flare work, the double flare tool is twice as much as the single flare tool. Do you think the single flare will do the job?
Ross Munn Thanks for checking out the video Ross. That’s a great question and asked a lot. As you know, the fuel system is a pressurized system during operation...it is always recommended & safer to Double Flare the tips.

Hey man if you're still responding to comment I've got a question.
What size hose do you use?
We sure are and thanks for watching. Sizes range from 1/8” - 5/8” with 1/4” being the most common.
Best thing to do is cut away the bad portion of your brake line and take it with you to your local AutoZone where they can match it to the size best suitable for your system.
Keep us posted on your DIY project.
Make sure y'all are using high pressure hose clamps. They are less likely to fail, about the same cost too.

Thanks for watching & great question. You will want. to make sure that you purchase fuel rated rubber hoses. This will ensure that your rubber hose can withstand the pressure of your fuel system as well as the chemicals and additives inside your fuel. As far as size, you can use the portion of fuel hose that you removed from your vehicle to match the correct size of hose to buy. AutoZone can definitely be a great help.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I cut the line out where it was leaking. Discovered another leak while working on it and took that length out as well. The problem on these chevy's is they clamp the gasline in place with a plastic brackets which they probably do for safety and what happens is salt, sand, grit, build up and eventually wear a pin hole into the metal line. I used your rubber hose method and for what I use that truck for it works. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for watching Finley. This specific rubber hose is for fuel line replacement. It’s designed to withhold the ethanal in today’s fuel. We do not recommend using this style hose for your project!
Hope this helps! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your CZcams notification Bell that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩
Use fuel injection clamps. They don't cut the hose.

that's what I used !
Hey, What is a good way to cut the fuel lines? Its tight so I can't really get a hack saw under there, and I don't really want to bring out the angle grinder here...
Thanks for viewing and commenting. Great question and I have the the answer.....I use a Kobalt 1-1/4 Inch Hand cutter....( Part #: 0150944 ).....you can get this cutter @ your local Home Depot or Lowes. Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it thanks again!
They do make very small pipe cutters. You can find them at most hardware or plumbing supply stores
Angle grinder!!? BOOM!!
A small camping hatchet go nuts!
What size replacement fuel line do I need
Thanks for watching, it may be best to visit your local AutoZone so they can match a replacement brake hose to your exact system. 😎👍
Im about to do this for my truck as well. Did you have any problems later with your Celica?
Hey there thanks for viewing and commenting....The hose works perfectly....Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it. Thanks again!
Hey I have 1999 Pontiac sunfire 2.4 and I need to replace the fuel lines but I cant find a video of the 2.4 just the 2.0

Thanks for watching. Glad to help. If you are replacing your old fuel lines with new lines, they are all very similar. This rubber hose option is a great way to fix a small rusted portion of hose.
If you’re replacing your line from inside the engine compartment all the way back to the rear brakes, you will want to use actual replacement lines as opposed to rubber hoses.
Keep us posted on your project!

I have a 92 toyota Camry I'm trying to but my steel hose to the fuel pump an replace it with rubber
Anita Frazier Thanks for checking out the video. This rubber hose can be used to substitute a portion of the fuel line. This can be used in your situation as long as you don't feed it into the tank itself. Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😀👍

DIY With Michael Borders it was a picture of my fuel pump
it is not fine to install rubber hose with non flare metal fuel line pipe, don't mislead people, it is a matter of safety do the job well or let a mechanic do it for you, if the fuel line leaks and shoot toward the muffler, it may cause fire burn and may cause the whole car to get burned to the ground, you have to flare the metal pipe, no way around, before installing the rubber hose and then secure with clamps, behind the flare that will prevent rubber hose from slipping by pressure, if you don't flare the pipe, you will risk that the rubber hose will get slipped out by pressure, anytime.
THANK YOU.

I'm wondering why the car manufacturers bother nstalling expensive steel fuel lines instead of the cheaper rubber line like you describe...there must be a reason.
The steel lines last longer. The rubber lines provide a more economical friendly option for vehicles however can lead to dry rotting over years rather than rusting. The rubber hose MUST EPA certified due to the ethanol in gas. Ethanol can eat the hose if you buy a non-EPA approved line 😀👍
If you don’t use a rubber hose rated for carrying fuel, said fuel will turn the rubber into gel and gum up your whole system.

Rubber hoses are more succeptible to impact and abrasion. You car won’t pass a safety with rubber fuel lines
my truck sports about 70lbs of pressure so a no go for me!

Thanks for the video. Some folks use gas tank additives like Gumout, Seafoam, etc. Any concerns that these products could compromise the replacement line material?

Thanks for watching & depends on who you ask. Seems like each product has its pros & cons.
Our rubber fuel line is still working as designed & we have added fuel additives a few times over the years. Great product for a friendly price. Hope the video helped.

How long do these rubber fuel hoses last? And are all of them rated for ethanol usage? Like doesn't matter where I get them should all be the same?
mrsemifixit Thanks for checking out the video. I have had fuel hoses on a vehicle for 5 years and I live where there are lots of temp changes as well sad lots of salt and snow. So it's a great product. You can purchase lines at AutoZone 😀👍
mrsemifixit subscribe to the channel if you're up to it thanks again
Michael Borders Thanks. Is it safe to replace about 4-5 feet of steel line with this? And if I flare the line I use clamps after the flare correct?
mrsemifixit Exactly...That's a great idea. 😀👍. You will love how user friendly this option is rather than the steel line.
Michael Borders Im conflicted though because I've read you shouldn't use anymore than 6 inches of the hose because gas breaks it down over time. Would 5 feet of it be safe?
thx this helps alot

Please don't use those garbage clamps and get the ones that are meant for pressure lines. The ones installed on my vehicle are leaking and, of course, they installed them to where the nut is hard to access to remove them *sigh*.
Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts, hope all is well with you and your family.

Would this work on a trans cooler line?
Thanks for watching & you can purchase specific hose for trans cooler. It will be very similar to the hose shown in this video. AutoZone may be a good place to purchase it.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders and to hook the hose up im assuming i will need the quick connects?? Or what?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders i have a 2000 chevy blazer and one of the cooler lines is leaking only when the car is running. So i believe its the lower line....

can I use this rubber hoes for my 1978 GMC truck for my mechanical fuel pump going up to my cab is it safe.
Clarissa Ashley Thanks for checking out the video. What are you currently using? You mention that the hose would go inside the cab correct?
+DIY With Michael Borders yes
Cool, this might be a good option to consider!
your fuel pump is under the hood bolted to the engine, not inside the cab ! yes you can use gas hose for your truck !
I have a 2009 chevy cobalt and i have been smelling gas near the driver side rear tire. Would the rubber hose work near the exhaust
Derek Pelle
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience! Let’s get this figured out together!
A few things come to mind & it’s very important that we get this figured out...driving a vehicle with a fuel leak raises concern 😲
First, we recommend doing an inspection for all fuel lines & verifying that you see no leaks. If no leaks, let’s move onto the next stage!
Below are a few links to videos that show several options it may be. Definitely check these out! Lets get your fuel smell / possible leak taken care of.

DIY With Michael Borders I'm probably gonna end up doing this with my truck. The line broke off near the fuel filter. What type of connectors do I use
Logan Stewart Very cool...I chose the connections clamps that have the 8mm bolt...as shown in video. I really like these clamps. This allowed me to tighten the clamps to my satisfaction. As you know, your fuel system is a pressurized system while engine is running...and because of that, I stayed away from the clamps that don’t have self-tightening capabilities. Keep me posted Logan 🔧🔨🔩😎
How do I use clamps to clip the rubber to the fuel filter it doesn't seem to have much of a lip
Logan Stewart I used a Flaring Kit that I purchased at AutoZone. I Double Flared the tip. Flaring is pretty simple...you’ll just need the kit...it’s possible that AutoZone will rent the kit..I’m not sure though. Below is a link to a video that shows us using the Kit.

I did this and it leaked really bad
DJ Allen Did you bevel the tip of the line?
Michael Borders ?
DJ Allen Its best to Flare your fuel line tip. I have a few videos if you visit my playlist "How to fix cars" and click on video that shows how to Bubble / Flare fuel lines. 😀👍
Did you mean your video on flaring brake lines? I can't find one of yours on fuel line flaring. Great video's by the way!
leadweight guy Thanks for the reply, I flared the end of the hard line that connected to the rubber hose. This gave the hose a flare lip to secure itself to as well as gave the clamp something to firmly rest against. HOWEVER....I inly did that once and just firmly secured clamps over hose and onto hard line and never ran into a leak. A friend of mine ran into a leak when he over tightened the clamp on the hose and the clamp ate through the hose causing leak. All and All I love this rubber hose option as it's extremely friendly when maneuvering in and out of small areas as well as having to bend, twist, and finagle those lines into position haha.
