I just finished removing about 1/4" to 1/3" where the line was leaking and splicing it using one of these . I had my doubts about if this would hold up to the almost 80 psi my fuel pump is supposed to deliver. But it was much quicker and easier than the alternatives. So far, it is holding just fine. Not a drop of fuel leaking. I ran the car here in the drive and around the neighborhood. Hope it continues to hold. I also got some of these straight ones . But it turned out that the leak was along the curved section where they would not have worked as well. Also, using the 90 degree one, I had plenty of fuel line available. So maybe a good weapon to add to our arsenals. Cheers

Hi Art. I checked with the local mechanic to whom I had given my extra hose and amazingly he still had some. You give a length for a hose for a 245 in your fuel line fun posting. Do you know the length for a 244? I must have know this at some point but I have forgotten and I need to measure carefully to be sure the remnant piece is long enough. Cheers!

Thanks Art, good to know that it is not likely just a failure of the hose. I too bought 25 feet but gave the spare to a local mechanic I know who needed it. I will call to see if he still has any left. Cheers and thanks again for all your help.
