Where to buy fuel lines?

[bennylava]

Upon making another repair earlier today, I noticed that I have a fuel leak. 1987 TBI 350. Apparently the steel braided section of the fuel line has been rubbing against the cab and has finally sprung a leak. I went to start the truck and I heard some liquid hitting the concrete, turned out it was gas. Found the leak, and started searching for fuel lines. Didn't find them on rockauto or a couple of other places where I usually look. So I was thinking maybe someone here could recommend a place to get some new fuel lines. It would be the lines that run from the TBI unit, all the way down to the hard lines that run along the frame.

Thanks!

I cannot vouch for him, but he is a member and a vendor on the board, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=748343

So you are looking to the flex/hard lines at the throttle body, correct?

Yes. It looks to me like that is all the same line It runs from the throttle body, all the way down to the frame rail hard line connection.

You can find them on eBay. I did buy a set that had a little chafing through the cover but the line is fine.

I bought the ones I ended up using new from Inline Tube, they also have those lines.

Thanks for the replies.

I found 2 used sets on ebay. But I'm not sure if fuel lines is something I should buy used. Is there any reason I shouldn't? I looked around but I couldn't find a new fuel line kit. If someone has a link it would be greatly appreciated.

Inline tube has new fuel lines. You'll have to call them and ask only for the hardline to TBI, they make a new one out of rubber hose with the correct ends.

You can buy them used if you trust them. I bought two sets used on ebay, both had a little chafing on the stainless part. I'd feel OK using them though.

Yeah I had to go ahead and just buy used off ebay. I'll have to put some kind of rubber barrier between the fuel line and the cab. That will kill the snoring noise inside at least. If it comes back I know the barrier has failed and to do something about it before I get another fuel leak. Not real sure what causes this to happen in the first place. Other than just age and things finally moving away from where they were originally intended to be.

To resurrect this post...

What size are the fittings at the end of these lines? Not the end that goes into the tbi but the end that goes to the tank.

Thanks!
