Can you fix this?

[BruhBrahBrad]

OK so you know how My car caught on fire? It burnt the lil white plastic line in the front of the intake that carries fuel, can this be repaired, or does the whole rail need to be replaced? I hope I dont have to Take the upper intake off AGAIN.

pic would help to identify the "lil white plastic line"

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

the discolored white hose thing that runs between the rails.

 

[Javi]

replace it.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

The whole rail or the line?

 

[Javi]

to be on the safe side, the whole thing.

you dont want another fire again.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

I dont, but rite now, I need to get to school...so even if its temporary, Theres nothing to be done?

 

[Javi]

inspect everything for leaks and try to find a good smal hose and some clamps
as a TEMPORARY fix

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Ok so does that line come off? And Im assuming I cant use vac line to fix it?

 

[Javi]

you could, but go to pull a part and ge the rails off another car and swap them.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Well just so I can get to school tomorrow, Im gonna try to vac line it..

 

[Javi]

Yes and inspect the rails

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Yeah I inspected the rails no leaks from the rails, but I missed the burnt hole in the lil Lines I guess.

vac line wont hold the psi of the fuel railand i belive napa would have the right line to repair it.

You MUST use fuel hose rated for fuel injection. And the better clamps....you do NOT want to half ass this. You got 38 to 40 PSI going through your lines. When you can, I would buy a new rail, or a good used one. Do you carry a fire extinguisher in your car? I do just to be safe. But my Cobra see's 55 PSI when I'm in boost. I would NEVER want to watch my Cobra burn to the ground!!!!!

please do yourself a favor and get a new rail assembly from your local yard. the fact that you were going to use vac line on this is assurance enough that your doomed to start the car on fire again.

This.

Fuel line for fuel. With appropriate clamps. A half-ass fix is worse than no fix at all.

Pual said it best , Id look at craigs list mysealf I've seen used rails for $20. At that price why not if nonthing eles for peaice of mind... Just to much to lose if you do a chitty job. And as others stated , get a fire extinguisher. Its Better to error on the side of caution

Dont put that on me... It was an Idea Because I was stuck at the house and couldnt get anywhere.

Im gonna go down to the autoparts store and get some fuel line.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]
