replacing fuel lines
i have a g3 sedan..
so since my car was sitting awhile, the fuel lines corroded a bit and causing leakage underneath. a friend of mine (honda/acura mechanic for last 7-8 years), recommended i replace with high-pressure rubber lines instead since i want to just replace the whole thing, all 3 lines couple questions.. has anyone does this? i know it can handle the pressure, but will the lines fit? i know there's a black plastic runner to hold the lines, and help protect them, i don't think the rubber will fit.. also since the brake lines look like they have some corrosion on them.. should i worry about that getting back on the fuel lines? i would love to replace them, but they aren't leaking right now, and i don't have money for brake lines :) or just any and all suggestions? :p |
I'd just replace the fuel lines back with stock oem fuel lines.
No need to do the brakes if they're not leaking unless they look like there gonna go soon. |
Jesse don't worry about it. they'll last for a long time. honda was smart for putting them inside the car. both my DA's fuel lines are in mint shape after 15 & 16 years.

yeah i can see all 5 lines right under the car, and they all look corroded.. i'm gonna get under and double check for sure today the extent of the corrosion.. i'd like to get all 3 fuel lines done though..
and do the dealerships sell pre-bent lines? i know it can be costly to get a shop to do this, and i really shouldn't have to pay someone else to do it :D |
Yes, the dealeships do sell pre-bent lines but they're expensive. It costed $92.32 (pipe C) and $86.26 (pipe D) for the 2 brakes lines that I had replaced last year.

I did it with high pressure hose and fits perfect on my g2. takes a bit more time but imo its better since they won't rust from salt and etc. plus a lot cheaper

i'm going this week to quote out some rubber lines.. know a buddy that could maybe get me wholesale so we'll see what he pulls off.. in all the twists and turns, did you just twist tie it places? i don't want the rubber just to hang, and it won't stay in place like steel lines.. |
