I have a fuel leak. There's a fuel line that goes from the main line to the injector rail. The line is about a foot or so long. The leak is where it connects to the main line. I've been lookinh for a replacement for the short line but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

Evidently, this part is no longer available and has been replaced by the entire fuel line. I'd rather not replace the entire line if I dont have to. Can I just seal up the connector with JB weld or something?

You have to ask yourself if you trust JB on a plastic fuel line - which, by the way, is already showing general signs of failure and end-of-service-life, with 65+ psig of fuel in a hot engine compartment while you, and conceivably others that you care about, drive down the road...

Don't be foolish here - replace the entire line or do a proper repair.

What I would try would be to remove the plastic line from the connection ends, then use a quality fuel hose meant for fuel-injection pressures with real EFI-rated hose clamps. Alternatively, you can usually get "repair kits" with assorted ends and in various sizes. They can often be found in the "Help!" section of many brick-and-mortar repair stores. Here's an example: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...tKpPyZuesiMaUEIskv-66aeWdEzEeftYaAug-EALw_wcB

I don't think hose-man or any hose guys make fuel injection line (I may be wrong though). You might want to try a specialty shop that does AN and brake lines. We have a shop here in so cal called G&J surplus that makes that kind of stuff. Make sure you have the right tool to remove the line, that makes easy work of it and less damage. Sometimes the leak is from the seal in the fitting. I have never been able to buy just the seal but I have bought a "Like" hose and pulled the seal/fitting to use in my old tube/hose with 100% success.

As mentioned above, Do it right and don't risk a fire. They suck.

Say what?
Hose man is a pro shop that makes hoses. Custom, OEM, rebuilt, or replacement for anything! Power searing, transmission, fork lift. fuel line aircraft.
Don't trust your jeep to that crappy OEM plastic fuel line! I see a lot of burnt JK's I wounder why?
Zoom in and you can see thier work..

No offense about hose man, but I know they don't make AC lines or brake hoses. Most hose shops do not work with tube or DOT stuff. Maybe they have branched out some and I did not notice.
