So....today I was going to install my fuel pump on my 2g. I purchased the car used from nebraska....so rust has always been a problem with this car. The fuel line was not too bad, but had some slight rust to it. I sprayed it down with PB blaster land let it sit over night and it seems like it ate away the rust. So today when attempting to take the line apart it was hard as a MOFO. I used pipe wrenches on both ends, but ended up stripping the 14mm side which is supposed to come lose.
Now i'm screwed. Anyone had this problem....is so what did you do? A friend said what about just cutting the line and using some fuel/heater vaccum line to hold it together. Would that work? I would think it would leak. What do you guys recommened.
