Help Locating a Replacement Fuel Line 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Wynn on  Thu Feb 28 05:28 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have an '82 240 GL wagon. I suspect the hose is very similar to the one I just replaced.

Even though there is a fitting on both ends of the flexible hose, the fitting are really couplings so that you can unscrew the hose from the fuel line. The fitting to the hose is pressed in hard into the flexible fuel line.

This flexible fuel line is an odd fule line in that it hase a semi rigid core, which is the hose, and a fat spongy out layer to act as a stress relief.

I just cut off the hose using pliers, knife, and a soldering iron to get the hose off of the fitting. And then I replaced it with standard bulk automotive fuel line from my local store. Added a screw clamp to each end and reinstall on the car. Fine, fine fine.

You need not remove the screw fitting from the car, and you may not be able to anyway. That's why I needed a soldering iron to melt the plastic inner hose off. Be careful, because fuel is extremely flammible. Maybe you can use nail clippers to clip off the inner core. It is very hard, but does melt.
