I nicked the fuel line that is under the passenger side of the car and was wondering how would I go about replacing it? I can't find anything on buying an oem fuel line or anything like that that isn't ss or some aftermarket fuel lines to an aftermarket fuel pump. Can someone help me out or should I just hand it over to a shop to deal with it?

When you say you "nicked" the fuel line, what exactly did you do? Cut it, crushed it or what?

theredrunner

It's been cut/crushed partly, theres an obvious hole in the line but the car still runs and drives but for what ever reason starts leaking gas at past half tank

theredrunner

This is what the line looks like now. What can I do about it? I already removed the gas tank.

Cut line.
Add rubber fuel hose
double clamp each side.

So essentially I'm cutting out the cut and replacing it with a regular rubber fuel hose? What size should I get?

I would cut the section out, run to a parts store and get one that slides tightly on top of oem

bring the piece you cut out to the store and find out.

When i say "cut out" I mean like use a pipe cutter that doesn't make any metal shavings or that crushes the line

Alright thanks guys for the help, already got the piece cut off and am ready to put the car back together. Thanks much everyone

This is what happens when a floor jack is jammed under a Z33 haphazardly. Good luck on the repair and check it carefully from time-to-time to make sure it seals completely.

theredrunner

I wish that was the case but unfortunately I had fallen asleep while driving and went off the road. Both are stupid mistakes though! Most definitely will keep on making sure it stays sealed, thanks.
