Holy crap!

You can:

-cut the end off, put a new fitting on and re-flare that line
-get a whole new line and install it
-JB Weld that one (won't really be able undo it again)
-make a whole new line from either SS or a pre-made line form the auto parts store

 

i know...i dont know how it happened...

i threaded it in with my hand normally, and thought everything was ok, untill i made a turn with the wrench and it popped back out! argh!

i'm probably gonna hit a junk yard this next weekend and see if they have one...

 

Would you be able to rethread it with a dye? I fucked up my rear upper control arm mount thread and used a dye and rethreaded it now the nut doesnt screw on half way then pop off.

 

^im not sure....i'll have to go check if they make dyes that big.....

 

I'm 100% they do. Autozone won't have it, if you have a carquest around you check them, I am sure they have one.. they was the only auto-store that had one.. saved me from buying a new upper control arm!!!

 

I would buy a new fuel filter and try and thread it in strait, if the fitting is too trached, you need to cut it and replace the fitting and re flare.
