Fuel line kinked!?
 

Well Today I noticed my rubber line is kinked from where it slpit to the other conector. Could that cause a car to back fire from not getting enough fuel? and then cause A fire if their are gas fuems on a intake??


Thanks,

Matt

Your fuel line splits to another connector? What line is this? This is a mechanical pump & q-jet, right?

Kinks are never good though. Except if Ray Davies is involved. Girl, you really got me now....

its a metal line coming from a mechanical fuel pump. it ruptured and I got a rubber hose and clamped both of the ends. it kinked because its to long.

kink is bad. fix it when you put the car back together.

I hope you didn't use any old rubber hose either. You did make sure that you bought something that was rated to carry fuel, right?

Yeah I did i got it from inman auto the guy who got it for me has a 89 firebird he hooked me up and on the box it said fuel line

just replace the entire metal line with a new one...or get braided steel line (even though thats a little overboard for your car)
