Hey.

So I stuffed the thread up a little bit on the end of the fuel line end,
going into my van van.

I was not watching and I jacked it and got it caught on the body and it stuffed a bit of the thread.

I could file it to repair it? Best to get a new fuel line right?
Anyways where can I get A new fuel line made with a new end for my van tank?

PBR or something?

Thanks

My fuel line has no thread on it, not sure what the van setups have...

I got new line made up at a local brake shop. I just gave them the old one to use as a template.

Gafmo bought some line from a brake shop and used my tube bender to bend it. It was pretty hard stuff, not soft like fuel line is. But bent OK.

yep I purchased 5/16 Brake pipe in a role from a brake & clutch shop local. Why 5/16 rather than 1/4 as I intended to up grade the 1098 motor to a 1275 ++ soon. Its a sod to bend but hay when your fussy.
Is it the connection to the Van fuel tank your asking about..as a a good friend of mine look after me and I can easly take a photo and dimensions for you now
