I hit a big chunk of concrite yesterday while driving around the dump getting rid of old oil. Dumb on my part, but it happened.

The only damage I could see was that it crimped the fuel lines right before they enter the wheel well. They're not punctured, but they're definitely squished.

Is it safe to cut that section out and replace it with hose, or should I try and find new hard lines?

I would not rec. using fuel hose. Will it work, yes. I would replace bad section of hard line with new line. It's more work, but will remain hassle free for years.

Post a pic... it may be well enough to leave alone or may be a need for a full replacement but we need to see the damage!

In case you decide to replace it them-

Here's a shot of the damage. I need to get a new laptop battery or an inverter before I can check my AF ratios to see if I'm having flow issues. I'm guessing I will though.

It looks like dcauto has hardlines for ~$50 each, so I think I'll just get those and put them in. I've got Lindsey SS lines in the engine bay now, so I'll have to chop up the one end of the line either way.

Kevin, thanks for the link on your replacment, now I know where I can get some connectors.

If it was an n/a I would say just wait and see but being a turbo you want all the fuel you can get.

Time to replace them completely. Those are toast.

Next question....what brake line is that?

The diagrams for the brakes don't exactly tell me much...
