Maybe Inline tubes can fabricate those lines.
Dorman offers those repair fittings and nylon line. They offer the tool that inserts the fittings in the lines, But it is expensive.
I have seen the repair kit offered on E-bay.

I do not know what vehicle you are working on..

I recently replaced the lines on my 93 k 3500. Its a tbi and has the metric threads. Summit and jegs have adapters to convert late model fi to an style braid or inverted flare.
I used adapters to go from factory to an to hard line. It worked good for me and was not that expensive.

Thanks for the link and replies. Those are the fittings that had found.

I am working on a 2000 S-10 Pickup and would like to keep the cost down as much as possible.

I have seen(online) the tool for inserting the fittings in nylon tubing and I think/hope I can rig something up to get the fittings inserted.

The metal lines with ridges near the ends appears to be more of a challenge.

I have a 96 s-10 (v6) with central sequential fuel injection. It has the fuel line that goes into the regulator much like what you describe. This year has only metal and the lines go to the back with a bracket and a threaded connection back by the distibutor. I am pretty sure they are metric threads with the coarse (1.50) pitch. They use them a lot on GM's and adapters are available for this connection.
Maybe you could get one this style from a junk yard? This style has the injectors in a six pack with the regulator and the tubes that go down to each cylinder. (not my favorite design)

Is the line you have completely wrecked? If the end that goes into the injectors is still good? You may be able to just attach to the other end.
Have you used the Army/Navy fittings before? They are good enough for airplanes and helicopters. Nice stuff but a little hard to get together and can handle some high pressures.

A picture may help us see what you are dealing with... It is just a fuel line and it is high pressure (60 plus psi) but people do fabricate high pressure fuel lines like in a retrofit FI set up.


I had a firebird that a previous pump replacement person had cut an access hole and severed all the sending unit lines. I could not find a used one that was not worse than mine. (mn rust) I took it to a radiator guy and he soldered some tube unions on them. It worked great and only cost $20. That was on a TBI so a lot less pressure but I think you get the idea.


Sometimes I have to make what I need because the parts are not available or way to much $. I guess what I am saying is a little creative thinking can go along way...

It is not like the factory set up is all that strong either... It is just plumbing...

As far as I can tell, the lines at the injectors and directly off of the engine are OK. It is the 3 lines that go from the fuel filter area (under drivers door) back to near the tank, and then there are 3 short lines than go tothe tank or vapor canistor.

The short lines in the back are primarily nylon lines with fittings and I think I can replicate these. One of them has a short piece of steel in it, but I think I can redo it with just nylon line.

It is the 3 metal lines that run on top of the frame rail from the fuel filter area back to near the tank that I am trying to figure out how to replace.

I see, on my 1 ton I used 3/8, 5/16, and1/4 break lines and unions from the local napa to cover those.
