Any body here work on cars?

Update on the A.S. mobile.

I did the hair dryer thingy and heated up the lines and repaired the sending unit. Problem was that 7 to 10lbs of pressure was too much. So I did it this way, I got a compression to compression nylon line fitting. It took ten minutes and worked great.
Now the next thing, change the front flex pipe and I should be about done.

ive worked on cars for quite some time!! there is actuall clamping dies that go on the plastic lines to press in the brass fitting in place. and a small hand clamp to do the actuall pressing. if the fuel line is the big fuel line it will have much more than 7 to 10 psi on it, more like 35 to 50 psi. and if it is the small line, it will have nominal 0 pressure, but flow. i would be hesitant on using the compression fitting unless its rated for fuel, maybe your local parts store will have the pressing tool available for loan.... id check into it!!

Thanks Justin, I looked into the kit that you are talking about. It is made by Dorman Co. here is a link It was almost the same price as the sending unit. So I used one of their compression to compression fittings. And it worked great. So now we are changing the front pipe. Then we will be just about done the car mechanically. Then a couple of days doing the body. And it will be like new.
