I am replacing the defective fuel lines on a 1994 Delta 88 due a badly leaking return line fitting at the fuel rail. Unfortunately, GM only sells the entire line as the replacment part when this fitting goes bad. Getting the old lines out was not possible without resorting to a tubing cutter due to the roughly 12" "zigzag" in the line about halfway back.
So- my question is - for the new replacement line, due to the impossibly tight routing is it normal to have to pick a point, seperate the new line into two sections then flare it and add a joint? It seems to be the only way to get the new line in short of tearing out the entire A/C and firewall interference, brake lines etc.
