Fuel Line replacement
Oh Jeep Gurus,
My 85 CJ7 has a rusted out fuel return line. When you start the Jeep it will leak out gas all over the place.I crawled under it and looked at it and it looks like a major operation to change the line.Does anyone have an easier way to replace a rusted out line? Thanks, -- Jim 78 CJ7 84CJ7 85CJ7 |
Re: Fuel Line replacement
It isn't really nearly as hard as it looks.

Re: Fuel Line replacement
Nope, you have to just get dirty.
Also be aware you have 2 more gas lines that are likely just as rotten. One is for the gas tank vent or charcoal canister and runs up the other side. As a temporary fix, you can just block the return line at the filter. This can make hot starts very difficult though because the gas line has a tendency to vapor lock, hence the return line.
