94-95 Fuel lines leaking...

**LILBLKSNAKE** · 11-22-2010, 06:49 PM

My 94 GT Convertible was forced into early retirement this year because of a very bad smell off gas from under the hood.
Anyone with a 94-95 may want to check your fuel lines. The 94-95 had nylon/rubber lines coming off the metal lines into the fuel rails. They are known for dry rotting and cracking.
I did a lot of research and apparently it is a known problem on these cars, resulting in a very dangerous and unsafe condition.

Summit racing has Russell fuel line adapters (94-95 requires these to switch to braided hoses) and once you switch to stainless braided lines, you're all set.
I'll post pics etc, once my package arrives from Summit.

Fox lines are the same design

I replaced my fuel lines 2 years ago, but mine were in good shape

I replaced mine 3 years ago with Aeromotive braided stuff when I did the new fuel rails. Thanks for the warning, though!

Hmmm.. Thanks for the heads up Ed... I'll have to check mine out this winter.

I bought my braided hose and 45 degree elbow fittings from Indy Auto Parts today
Just waiting for the Russell adapters to arrive.
With these adapters you don't have to cut the factory hard line on the 94-95's.

I'll post a step by step soon

Still waiting on that step by step buddy........Since my Cobra is going to be sitting in Florida for the year that I'm out in the middle east, I might be forced to do the same thing. I bought the Russel fittings when they first became available through the early-buy thread on the Corral forums. I haven't picked up the braided stainless fuel line yet or the elbow adapters though.

Believe it or not, it's basically plug and play once you get the adapters. The Russell fittings pop right on the factory hard-lines. There are threads on youtube on how to attach AN fittings to braided line or I can help you.
