I have a problem:1zhelp:. I just installed a 190lph fuel pump(not on a supra). Ok my problem is that to get the fuel pump out I had to cut the fuel line(I think that is the right term), the fittings where croded and wd-40 wasnt helping any(don't have any pb blaster).I cut the line, then pulled the pump out.

So I got the pump already to put back in the car and I had to "reconnect" the hose(s). So I did it the cheap way with black electric tape and three clamps. I put the two hose's together and put about quater of a roll of tape on the lines then put the clamps on there and tighten it up. Then I go to start the car and gas just starts pouring out. So my connection isnt working. Am I going to have to get a whole new fuel line or what? Any help is welcome.

Sorry for such a sloppy post im just in a real hurry to find out the solution.

Thanks in advance, Bryan

You taped up a hose you cut in half and it leaked? No way!!! hahahha
Just get a small 3" chunk of 3/8ths tubing and slip it halfway in to each end and clamp it.. I am guessing this is not a fuel injected car?

Yikes, fuel pressure is alot greater on injection cars than on carbed rigs. In this case I would use 2 clamps on each end..(4 total) But thats just me, I dont like fire...

Silvergsx: That link a better route. That, or go to a junk yard and get the stock fuel line that you need. My post was more of a temporary fix..
(which I forgot to mention)
