    My fuel line on my 89 f 350 sprung a leak, so I bought a repair kit from Dorman

    Use a heat gun, heat enough to insert the brass repair section

    As you see by the date stamp, I made this repair 4 years ago, and the lines are still holding up just fine!

    I have used those repair kits with great results also . You can use just the barbed splice to repair pinholes and rodent damage in some cases . They are can be purchased also .

    Had to do this last year !@#$%^& rodents. At least it was on the front tank so I could get to the lines easier. Keep a spare repair kit in my travel tool box.
