replacing plastic fuel lines, where to buy?

[meindl]

Can I get the plastic fuel lines at my local Napa or Auto Value? If not, is there a locally available replacement? Copper lines? Do the ferrels fit the same?
Found a pinhole leak where they were touching.
Thanks Meindl

From my understanding, those plastic fuel lines are nothing more than air lines. Just take a piece of your worn lines into NAPA for them to match it. You'll also need to get new brass inserts fir the lines.

I switched mine out to copper. You need to get new ferrels and they install the same.

I switched mine out to copper.

Sounds like a pain in the azz.

Any truck repair center can match them up.

I used air lines. The standard hardware store type ferrules had to be modified on the back side with a dremel tool so they would seat far enough into the fitting. No problems, low cost.

Yeah

Looks like I will have to make my own. The local Napa had only hydraulic fittings and hoses available. No one in our town had ferrels like these either. Just standard plumbing brass. Standard brake air line was good to 120 psi and o.d. fine, but the i.d. would not work with the ferrels and inserts I have. Copper may be the way to go, but looks as if I will have to replace all elbows also.
Buggah! Will have to mull this one over a bit.
Thanks, Meindl
