Northman Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 You mean rupture, Marc? Has anybody ever crimped the fuel line off with Vice-grips before or something similar? Pressure or return line? Your bike is fuel injected, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Marc Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 '99 FI. The pressure in line. It did not rupture under pressure, I noticed it leaking when I had the tank up. The outer jacket has a split running lengthwise from the fuel rail end up for about an inch. It appears to have split along a seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD Marc Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 I don't have a camera for the pics but I dremelled off the crimps on the stock fuel line, removed the line so I could reuse the stock banjo connectors. I replaced the hose with ss braided line and red anodized clamps (just standard automotive screw clamp with an anodized cover). Total cost $15 time 1/2 hour. Now I can cancel the stock replacement I ordered through the stealer for $85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
