Hi guys, I'm from next door in the rice burner forum, but 've got Jeep question and could use your assistance:
A buddy of mine drives a 77 CJ-5. On our last trip of the season in October, he broke his fuel line where it runs along the frame in the drivers side front wheel well. We did a trail fix with some hose and clamps, and he's not driven it much since.
Is this the kind of thing your average wheeler can fix (permanently) himself? If so, what's the right way? The OEM design didn't seem well thought out, as I think he caught it on a tire under full stuff. I'm open to better ideas.
Sorry if this is a knuckleheaded question. I tried searching for "fuel line" but didn't come up with a good hit.
Thanks,
Mark
