Our trusty rusty '86 wagon began seeping gas from the fuel line about mid-ship after 16 Wisconsin winters. I would prefer to replace the most exposed, lowest section of line, as the whole section that runs along the undercarriage looks about shot. Of course the line twists and turns, so fitting and bending the rigid line from the parts store doesn't seem feasible. Flexible neoprene line is supposedly out because of the line pressure (40-80 p.s.i.???) necessary to feed the fuel injectors. Does a flexible stainless steel line exist which could be spliced with compression fittings? Would it be easier (for some at least) to skip the splicing and replace the entire line?

Surely this is not a unique problem to this vintage Volvo, yet searching the archives yielded a flood, fuel-fumed, of extraneous problems. Anyone have a suggestion on further refining the search string "fuel line replacement" or "fuel line leak."

Thanks a bunch!!!
