My fuel line broke while replacing the fuel filter on my AU Fairmont wagon. It snapped off about 3 inches from the fuel filter. Has anybody had any experience with this in terms of replacement cost. Or is it possible to repair it in anyway.

Is it a inline 6 or V8? If it's a 6 you can probably just cut the two broken ends square with a tubing cutter, flare (double laps or bubble flare) those ends and insert a piece of high pressure fuel hose (this stuff https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p-...ose&lang=en_AU ) on the newly cut and flared ends fastened with high quality hose clamps. Cutter and flarer in a kit: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/...ool&lang=en_AU

You should have no problems sourcing another one from the wreckers for minimal cost.

And why did it snap? Rough treatment or corrosion ?
