I am picking up a ram 1500 in a few days that I just bought today but it has a fuel leak it is the small rubber line that comes off the fuel pump don't know what size it is but need to find a cheap way to fix it just to get it home oreillys told me to put a brass coupler in with hose clamps but I need to know what size that line is or if you know a Easier way to fix it thanks and the line is like a cut not split but the cut is about 6-8 inches from the fuel pump

 

If it's a rubber line, get the side and buy a small piece and a couple of small hose clamps.

 

It is rubber line but are you talking about buying a brass coupler and hose clamps.also thank you for your response

 

If that's what's needed, yes. Replace the line with something temporary. Make sure you use hose rated for fuel.

 

Is it the hard line or rubber hose? There is a hard tubing used from the fitting on the fuel pump assembly to the actual rubber hose that runs up to the engine. I believe it's about a foot or so of hard tubing. The hard tubing is available from dorman. It's actually a form of heat shrink tubing and you need to put it in hot water before you install it.

 

i just replaced the fuel line today, used 5/16 nylon tubing with a 3/8 to 5/16 quick connect at the fuel pump. Ran tubing up rail and got a fuel line repair tube from napa 5/16 with the quick connect ferrule on both ends. used a quick connect 5/16 at end of nylon tube. quick connect end to repair fuel line . fuel line then runs to 5/16 connector at fuel line running up to engine. was quick and easy took bolts out of front of bed loosened rear 4 bolts jacked up bed was easy.
