I have a 1997 f-250. The fuel line coming from the transfer pump to the back of the head cracked. I went to my local dealership to get a replacement. In the picture it shows my old lines and the lines on the right was the first one they ordered. The banjo fitting and right side line were the same, but the left is different. They then went of the VIN number and came up with the lines on the left. The lines are correct, but the banjo fitting is not. The mounting tabs are on the wrong side. They reordered it thinking it was a manufacturing mistake and the other set was the same. Has anyone run into this problem before? Is there a fix or do I have to get used lines?
Thank you.

I'm thinking the one on the right looks really close, might just need some careful line bending.

 

If they screwed up manufacturing lines it might be more than one set. Can they be heated and turned and then re-brazed?

 

The one on the right has a different angle and is about 1 1/2" short.

 

We thought of that, but they are welded stainless lines.

 

From the pic the one on the right, would seem to have ample range to be tweeked to fit, and from what I see, the end fittings and banjo fitting seem almost identical.

 

You posted before I answered...........
If this is so, it might be time for another trip to the dealer or a different parts house.

 

So far no success on Amazon.

 

If all else fails, maybe a 1.5" extension is in order - flexible high pressure line maybe, or steel.

Q: Where did the original crack? A flexible line might help in the long run.
