[s-cars] Re: high pressure fuel line leak help - who can fix this???

[Joshua van Tol]

Mine's doing this too. What I'm planning on doing is cutting the hose  
off the old fitting, and welding or brazing an AN-6 adaptor to it.  
Same drill on  the fuel rail end, except I'll have to cut the metal  
line going to the fuel rail and weld or braze the AN adaptor to it.  
Then I'll just make a fuel line using AN-6 fuel line, and fittings,  
from Aeroquip. Fittings and hose cost me about $100. If I'm lucky  
I'll get some time to do this this weekend. If so, I'll shoot the  
list a line and let everyone know how it goes.

I'm also planning on replacing the return line while I'm at it.
