Default When you use a bolt cutter to cut your fuel line


Ok so I know im a idiot but I’m 16 and dumb and barely know anything about my car. I bought it as a shell swapped my b18 in and somthing was in the way so I cut it. I thought it was somthing to do with the ac and I thought race car life and cut it. So now my fuel line coming out of the fire wall is cut and I don’t know what to do. I was wondering if you guys were in the same situation (none of y’all are this stupid most likely) what would you all do.

How did you not know that was your fuel line?

I don't want to be mean, but given your track record. Only thing I can advise is you have someone else fix it.

I didn’t know it was my fuel line because I bought it as a shell the fuel filter was missing and I thought the fuel came from the driver side instead of more towards the middle

I’m capable of fixing it I was just wondering what the easiest thing to do would be

Cut it off clean with a brake line cutter, or if you don't have room bend it back as best you can then, get a 6AN crush fitting. Summit racing sells one.

Run 6AN to a fuel filter, and your fuel rail.

It's no big deal man we all make mistakes.

Or can just run new fuel lines from filter and FPR under the car and back to the tank. It's pretty easy and if you ever plan on using e85 can use compatible line.

This is how mine was set up by previous owner, they mangled all of the original fuel lines.

Get ready to take your dashboard out for a new heater core too.

Agreed...and it's more than just the dash cover that has to come out:

It’s a race car didn’t care about any of that stuff. Trying to keep it simple and cheap as possible for my first build. How would I run an line to a stock fuel rail?
