Don't use compression fittings on fuel. A mechanic did that on my truck. It failed I got stranded. Had to call a tow truck The guy charge $300. Had to pay another mechanic to do it right.
The 1st fitting u attached it seemed as if you were stressing the fitting by using the clamping part of the clamp. I was just imagining using a deepwell socket & just use the flat bar section of your clamp where it perfectly aligns. Also, a caulking gun can also be used along with a clamp. Anyways, good content bro, there are many people who know nothing about vehicles & it boggles my mind how some people are blessed enough to never have to work on their vehicle, must be nice but, I prefer the knowledge & to have every tool needed.
I had to put a new connector on the nylon plastic fuel line that runs from pump to back of fuel filter. I cannot get connector to fit tried heat an hot water neither worked. What can I do??
Make sure that the tube size is matched up with the fitting you are trying to install and try again. Sometimes these can be a snug fit and take a bit of elbow grease to work them into the tube. It's a tight fit by design because you don't want the fitting in the tube to be loose as it could create a leak path which obviously is not good when working with fuel lines.
95 Ford Thunderbird the fuel line about 6 in from the pump has rubbed against something I can literally push it with my fingernail can cut the line and put that fitting in it I can't think of the name of it same thing I use on plastic piping and plumbing and copper. before I put the tank back up.? thank you.
bro hands down amazing help🙌🏿🙌🏿

What are the symptoms of a failed fuel pressure check valve
Would I be able to use jubilee clips to secure it instead of those other clips ?
Would this work in a diesel configuration as well?
This video is specific to petroleum fuel lines, which are much different than Diesel configurations. Thanks for watching!
Oh hey
Hi there I didn’t see you 😂

Try some silicone spray to lube it . I don't believe it will damage anything . It also lubes 0 rings , connectors , etc.
The ethanol content in fuel these days just kills rubber fuel hose.
thank much! 4d video. informative.
Nathan for You's dad.
I swear they are related.
Thank you even though I’m a chick I think I can do it. I know I can do it.
Thank for the video. The nylon compression union, haven't used this type before. How tight do you go with this type nylon fitting. Thanks
