Default Fuel line problem


I hate to say it, but I driledl through a fuel line running one of my amps under my drivers seat. Now there is gasoline trickling down. Guys, can you give me some information on how much it is to fix the lines, and if it is hard? Is it possible to fix it yourself? My car is a 94' GSR.
Thanks in advance.

you could take the line out and get it welded, or buy new one

What is a fuel line psi 40 or so. Proof test the welded to 100 psi and your good to go.

I wouldn't weld it, but that is just me. I would replace it! Or put in a new section where you drilled it at least!

thanks guys, i'm getting it fixed as I speak... I just forgot the golden rule of installing stereo equipment, "always check before you drill!"
I'm glad this nightmare is working out...

welding it seems awful stupid, i just don't see how you could be sure of your inner diameter, and isn't worth the effort of ******* it up. Cut a section out of the bad. get some new fuel line, put the fittings on both the new section and the old line, flare the ends with the tool, and bolt them up. Shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks if you can borrow the tools from someone.
