Hummer H2 fuel pump lines were stuck and rusted into the plastic lines. These lines are discontinued so I bought ends and replaced the pulled out pieces as well as the first o-ring.

You're welcome. I wish I had more secrets to share. Most of the stuff I work on is beyond what an average mechanic can do so I don't even bother recording it. I haven't been able to take shortcuts in a while. Seems like every job I do is taking 8-16 hours for oil or antifreeze leaks. My hummer is my baby though

Someone else commented just cut the end off and put the new one on. For starters it's not like there's extra fuel line to work with and that plastic is so old and hard I wasn't taking any chances. Only had to do it because my fuel pump was rotted and leaking.

Im going to try this method out on my buick park avenue 2004 fuel line...they said ill have to go to junk yard...ill rather this method..
@james1023777 ай бұрын
Especially if it's too much trouble to get the whole line out and you can manage it while it's still in the vehicle. I had to drop my tank for the fuel pump anyways and the metal piece broke off inside the line so I had to dig it out.

@james102377 I got them pieces to get the O rings my good brother...the yellow o rings did nt fit...was to small..
@james1023777 ай бұрын
The orings were to small? I almost think they sold 2 different sizes. If that's the case then it's probably the other size. I almost think I had to measure the outlet to make sure I got the right size.
@james1023777 ай бұрын
I just looked on ebay and Amazon and I do see fuel line quick connects from 1/4" to 5/8" so you'd definitely want to measure the outlet

Hey dude I broke the housing how do I remove the connector to replace instead of replacing the line

I didn't get a notification of this comment I don't think. Cut the line behind the broken piece and heat it up with a heat gun and stuff the new one in? You might be able to use the heat gun to get the old one out instead of cutting and push new one in. I know you asked a month ago but youtube won't show me comment notifications and on what videos. Shadow banned.

I tried this, but my moronic self used a Chinesium O ring from an Amazon kit thinking it would work. Held up two days then dissolved like TP in water, time to get some Viton...

😂😂😂I can't remember what I did the same thing on years ago in a bike carburetor but ended up with the same problem. Don't think it was a case of cheap o-ring though. Apparently certain types aren't meant to be exposed to gasoline or any chemicals. Some are only good for sealing air.....lol

There's 2 nubs that face inward. You have to spread those lightly with a pick or small flathead to get it over the tube. If that's what you're talking about, that goes on the metal tube itself and still snaps into the black part one of two directions.

Gas, gasoline, not too much of a difference as far as flammability.....lol I needed the light and a white background in case I dropped anything.

Do you really think it would be that easy trying to stuff new fittings in 20 year old harf plastic fuel lines? I don't think so. On top of that, the length of the line is very specific seeing it goes right to the fuel filter at the end of the tank and there's really no extra line to work with. If you want to take the chance, more power to you....lol

If you have yours in front of you or the couplers from the parts store, you'd be able to see and tell what I was doing. Others understood and have done it.
