I have a fuel line leak and my local mechanic is saying that part has been discontinued from the dealer?!

[persuazion]

So now what do I do? It’s the fuel line that’s braided and meets the plastic one. Under the drivers side seat. I have a 2008 Dodge Ram.

Get the part number and then search RockAuto and eBay

can you supply us with the particulars of your vehicle?

Think outside the dealer (after you have verified with them these are not available... sometimes a good parts guy can find what you need by searching other dealers shelf stock)

Other options
- Rock Auto?
- CARiD?
- ebay?
- a P/N search of the 'net'
- Can the existing line be spliced/ repaired?
- Can a hydraulic, or A/C shop make a copy?
- Can one be aquired from an auto salvage yard

Oh...and photos of the damaged area/ part help a lot.

With no info on the truck other than year no one can help find the part. But just poking around, is this it?

Hey guys thanks for the reply’s. Stupidly I did not get the part number over the phone. I’m getting my truck back today and will ask them specifically what part number and report back!

 

[persuazion]

No I don’t believe that’s the part. I have a 2008 dodge hemi Quadcab 5.7

Can you post a picture of the line you need?

I don't know if this applies to 2008 Rams
But the newer fuel lines have a special plastic fitting at the ends.
Some people somehow are able to release that fitting, but most ppl break it

these tools work faster & easier
