I had a client that had that problem. You can get aluminum or stainless steel tubing and run it in the place of the old metal fuel tubing. I was shocked at how flexible the stainless steel tubing was, and it was just as easy to work with as the aluminum was. It’s also very affordable. It cost me about $70 for stainless steel tubing and $15 for the small pipe cutter from Autozone.

It comes in a coil, so you will need to take the old metal tubing off your car and shape the stainless steel tubing like the new one. Then simple place it on the car and cut. You want to get the thin wall stainless steel tubing because it’s not going to be moving around, and you want high flow fuel flow. And make sure the outside diameter of the stainless steel tubing will work with the inside diameter of your fuel hose. I wish I remembered the part number but give them a call and tell them what you are doing.

Let me know if you need any help or if I’m not giving you enough detail.
