busted fuel line.

[Wesley Loncar]

My father has a 2001 ram 2500 with a gas 5.9L. the fuel line connecting the rails on top of the engine decided to turn into a geyser. does anyone know what size line it is and how to remove it. doesn't look like there is any sort of clamp holding it in place and i don't want to just rip it out. also should the system be bled after? here's a picture: its the wet looking line on the far left.

Easiest removal will likely be a razorblade and cut lengthwise. I would use a universal fuel hose and clamp it in place, the rails pressuruze to 50psi, don't really want it popping off. I THINK it might be 3/8 but it's been awhile since ive looked at one without the hose

High pressure fuel line. If you can find a wtire that makes hoses and fittings to order, just take that one off and take it down there and get one made. Its slightly pricey but damn worth the money.

Same thing and not that critical here, remember the factory put these on with hose clamps

I prefer better safe than sorry especially when it comes to fuel lines. Wire reinforcement and hose clamps. I was thinking of inlet to rail.

It's just the crossover line. Normally yeah I'm all about nice PTFE braided lines and an fittings but that crossover is pretty simple
