Broken fuel line

[derhicks]

Ran over some brush and truck stalled. Tried to restart and heard fuel hitting the ground. Turn off and it stops. Turn on, fuel pump kicks on, and gas pouring on ground again. Long story short...fuel line ripped. It tore right where it makes a 90 to go up to the fuel tank. Is this a DIY repair or take it to the garage? Can't believe how flimsy of a line this is. 2017 Ram with 4000 miles.

the redneck in me says go to the auto parts and get some rubber fuel line that will fit snug and some hose clamps and make a flexible joint to run for now while you order a replacement line

Never messed with a newer vehicle's fuel lines. Does the tank need to be dropped for the job.

you will have to drop the tank to get the line fitting off of the tank

from my note 8

They do make fuel line repair kits for this. I’ve gotten it before at Autozone while replacing the fuel pump in the wife’s Tahoe a few years back.
