Default Fuel line complications

Well, My rear fuel line is leaking really bad due to rot. I need to replace it, from the tank, to the coupler along the drivers side frame. Problem is nobody makes the part. Autozone, Autopro, MarkAuto, none make the part. I even went to Dodge and they said they don't make the part anymore. So what do I do? Surely somebody has had this happen? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can't you buy the lines and fab one up yourself?

After several unsuccesses at Dodge, Autozone, etc of finding a prebent and premade line with fittings and all, my neighbor and I considered that. I was just kinda wondering, before we start building our own and bending from scratch if anybody had done it another way?

yeah, lots of people on here have done that. remove your old line and take it to the parts store. they'll have pre-flared, pre-fitted pieces in various diameters and lengths. depending on the sharpness of any bends, you might buy a cheap tubing bender to avoid kinking.

Actually now that I think about it, you may be in luck. With all this cash for clunkers crap going on now, there may be an influx of RAMs at your local junk yard. Check that out before you start making your line.
