I have a 91 Chevy truck and there is a pin hole leak in agasreturn

not going to spend $250 to buy a new in-tankfuel pump (that's what I

it (after all thegasis flushed out by pumping water thru it). *But
theJBWeldis the easiest and cheapest method to fix it. *

Also, these lines have agashose with some really weird fittings that
need some special tool. *The guy at the parts store told me I cant
just use regular fuel hose and clamps because fuel injection engines
have high pressure. *How high can it be? *I doubt it comes even close
to the 100psi rating of the gasline hose, and if it does, I'll use air
compressor hose rated at 300psi. *At the same time, I had a guy who
works on cars as a hobby tell me that he has used gasline hose for
fuel injection lines. *So, who is right? *I tend to think that auto
parts store guy wanted to get his grubby hands into my wallet with his
$250 fuel pump, $20 special tool, and $28 special hose. *$300 to fix a
damn fuel line leak is insane (not to mention the hassle of removing
the wholegastank).

I hate working on these newer cars. *Give me something prior to 1970
to work on, when things were still simple and parts were not sold by
crooks.

And.....JB Weld is impervious to gasoline after it's cured, and JB
Stik can even be used on wet gasoline surfaces.
