Here's a step-by-step guide on how to splice a metal fuel line:
1. Gather your tools and materials.
* Replacement metal fuel line (use the same size as the original line)
* Fuel line splice kit (which should include clamps, couplings, and a cutting tool)
* Wrenches
* Pliers
* Safety glasses
2. Prepare the metal fuel line.
* Cut the damaged section of the fuel line using the cutting tool included in the splice kit.
* Make sure the cut ends are clean and free of any burrs.
3. Install the splice couplings.
* Insert one end of the replacement fuel line into one of the splice couplings.
* Tighten the clamp to secure the fuel line in place.
* Repeat this step for the other end of the replacement fuel line.
4. Connect the splice couplings.
* Slide the splice couplings together until they are fully seated.
* Tighten the clamp on each splice coupling to secure the connection.
5. Test the fuel line for leaks.
* Turn on the fuel pump and check for any leaks at the splice couplings.
* If you see any leaks, tighten the clamps until the leaks stop.
6. Reinstall the fuel line.
* Once you are sure that there are no leaks, reinstall the fuel line in your vehicle.
It is important to note that splicing a metal fuel line is not a permanent fix and should only be done as a temporary measure until you can replace the entire fuel line.
