what he said. I drove a '68 mustang around for several years with a section of
rubber hose spliced into the metal line under the driver's seat after a jacking
mishap. I'd give it a shot, even with an efi car, but look for leaks if it is
efi. you don't want the splice flying off while driving and stranding you
somewhere.

Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] Auto gas line repair
do you mean a puddle on the garage floor, or a puddle inside the car?
Is the car injected or carbeurated? Most fuel-injected cars have the pump in
the gas tank, and the fuel line has 40 or so pounds of pressure. So you have
to be more careful with repairs than with an older carburated car where there
is little pressure (or even suction) in the fuel line.
