Fuel leak problem, K-jet, Part 2 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Green Machine on  Thu Dec 1 13:41 CST 2005 [RELATED]

A few days ago I posted regarding fuel leaks at some of the fittings on our 81 245 DL:

Though snugging down the fittings, trying new washers did not help, I did find one of the problems...perforated fuel line between the fuel distributor and the control pressure regulator, the small line, at the regulator end. This was where the leakage was worst.

In doing a search on these plastic fuel lines the consensus is that these are not a DIY repair. I'm not clear on whether the underhood lines can be replaced by retaining the fittings and using some fuel injection hose and clamps, but I figure no.

Anyone know what kind of money I'm looking at from the dealer or other vendor? Anyone using lines from a VW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, Delorean, etc. K-jet system. There is a dearth of K-jet cars, meaning none, in the yards around here...
