Replace banjo fitting at fuel filter - how? 200 1990

Found a perforated banjo fitting on the output end of the fuel filter. I have some good used ones. I read threads here about replacing. Didn't find any that discussed inserting the replacement fitting into the old line.

This is a heat-shrink fit into a nylon hose. As the hose will have gas liquid, vapors, and varnish, heating the line to soften it is infeasible.

I called a friend who makes hose fr a living. She said that the line would be brittle after 20+ years so heating it probably wouldn't work anyway.

Has anyone put a new/used fitting into an old line - if so, how?

(I took a banjo fitting with a 6" piece and attached it to the existing like using a short piece of fuel line and clamps.)

    buy or locate this tool

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/otc-6503/overview/

    use the steel double bar which holds the tube firmly in place placing your nylon int the appropriate size hole with an inch or so sticking out the top freely moving

    lubricate the fitting and tap it into the tubing

    the whole takes a couple of minutes including setup

      Thanks, good tip. I have that tool - by K-D I think - didn't occur to me to use it on nylon tubing. I'll do that next time.

        The tubing flare tool is a good thing to have. However, I've used a DIY tool to do this sort of thing (other holding uses as well).

        Take 2 wood blocks and screw or clamp together, a vise works fine for this. Drill an appropriately sized (slightly undersized) hole centered on the line between the blocks. A portion of the hole can be a slightly bigger diameter to accommodate the extended portion of the tubing that the banjo fitting presses into.

    the nylon line is a holdover from the kjet days-much higher pressure. this is about the only time and place a rubber FUEL INJECTION hose can be used. kjet runs at approx. 90 psi, lh about 50 or so. burst pressure is approx. 100 psi with rubber hose. wth the CORRECT hose, rubber is fine. good luck, chuck.

      Thanks. I looked up the pressure on the LH, didn't realize kjet was that much higher.
