The old engine in my 83 300CD used to shake pretty bad. the left side line broke through first, it was removed, welded thicker in the spot it broke and put back in. a few months later, the right side broke. due to the fact the engine was out of a different car i suppose, I couldnt for the life of me get the lie out, short of unbolting the engine and lifting it, so I cut a section of hose, wrapped it around the break and used hose claps to secure it. Held for over a year untill the engine finally blew up.
