my 87 toyota corolla fx16 has a fuel leak near the gas tank... there is a short(8") rubber hose with a 19mm female connector on BOTH ends that connects the electric fuel pump to the main fuel line in the car. the leak is coming for the backside of one of the female connectors, where the metal joins the rubber. my question is... does anyone know where to get a replacement for this hose? no parts store has even heard of it. thanks for the help.

if someone did a ghetto repair, well chances are you cant find it anywhere...
If its a factory thing, parts can be found at the dealership

sounds like a ghetto repair to me too.. just go to a shop and tell them to patch it up again.. very cheap as opposed to replacing the whole fuel line for an arm and a leg.

nope, not a custom job... fx16 were built that way i guess. dealer wants 60 bucks for a new fuel tube.... and they're backordered.... arrrgh! time to start junkyardin'...

Goto your friendly neighbourhood, UAP dealer or parts store, buy about 12' of 6mm nylon fuel line, should be about 10bucks, I just put it on my Corolla this weekend, and have had it on the rx7 for over 2 years. It'll NEVER rust, and can hold something like 800psi.
