It appears I have a slow drip, while line is under pressure. The leak is happening at a joint where the line from the fuel pump comes under the tank and connects to the line that goes to the engine. This connection seems to be at a support bracket of some sort. What are my options for repair? The joint is rusty. (1992 civic dx 3 door)

I have dealt with this, it's not too fun. I got a length of 3/8" ID flexible fuel line and fuel line clamps, reused the banjo fitting at the tank and bypassed the hole thing. I ended up dropping the tank to get to it, don't remember if that is necessary though.

Honda wants over $100 for that part.

that part is ok....it's actually right at the flare nut on the main line that runs to the front of the car. I just need to get a new nut and compression fitting....I figured it out after i tore into it!

i ran into the same problem with my car. if i cut the rotted tune with a tube cutter and sliped over some rubber fuel line hose, will clamps be strong enout to hold and not leak?

I wouldn't just clamp the hose to a straight stretch of tubing. You'll want something with a barb.

What I did was cut the line with a mini tube cutter, double flared the end, and used a 3/8" brass
splice with a 3/8" barbed fitting (pic), which I clamped the hose to.


(not the exact one I used but you get the idea)



But, like I said earlier in the thread, I had the luxury of having the gas tank out of the car when I did
this. That fuel pipe is tucked up there and hard to get to. Not to mention it can get pretty crusty up
in there making it easy to break more stuff.

i broke this fixing the rusted brake line, lol

I used white vinegar to disintegrate the rust on the line that crimped. Now to remove that stupid bracket and do this all too common repair myself. I'm going with fuel injection hose and a barbed union fitting, held with 4 clamps....fingers crossed it works.

As long as whatever line and fittings you use are properly secured, and rated to at least 100 PSI, you should be fine.
