Fuel lines
« on: May 10, 2014, 11:51:09 AM »

Ok so my fuel lines are leaking. But i CANNOT get them loose from the tank. There is no room in there to get a wrench in there and i just cant figure it out. The tanks are plastic and i think to remove them you have to cut them out. Any tips/tricks?????

use a razor blade and slice em down the length at the fitting and then pull up/down on it (gently) and it'll come off.  pulling on a barbed fitting just makes it tighter.

On top of the tank theres a 90 degree AN fitting that the house hooks to. Theres about 1/4" between the fitting and the deck of the boat.

Can you get at it from the front or back or along the hose?  Are you able to put a sneak bend into an old 11/16” open end wrench to form something like a distributor wrench?  How about a 11/16" crow’s foot on a long extension?

Cheers,

Joe

Cut the line and use a deep socket and deal with after it's off and try to spin the 90 off and then figure out a better way I rig it?
