It’s a 87 LXi
How exactly is it messed up? Just fyi replacing the fuel line basically means you need to take out the entire interior including the dash.
I’m not exactly sure i just got the car yesterday the dude told me that when he did the fuel pump he tugged on the high pressure fuel line and messed it up now it pisses fuel everywhere. He also told me it’s a discontinued part from Honda too
I believe its a 3/8" hard line, at least it is on my dx. It might be easier to see if you can do some kind of patch repair or cut the bad section out and put a bubble flare and a piece of hose inline.
So do you think i could cut the section it’s leaking from then get 3/8th rubber tubing with some clamps and just clamp it

My long reply is you may want to research what the newer 90's Honda/Acura cars did. I think they run the fuel line under the car protected. That maybe an answer. Id very much like to re do mine since I run E85 and need larger lines and don care much for banjo type fittings.
I have had oem fuel injected cars with regular hose clamps on the main fuel line, but I would not just cover the broken area, it needs to be properly fixed with a flare. If one is still worried about leaks you could probably even use a double flare and a coupler like you would see on a brake line.
Under the car is an option, but you do not have much way protection there
Do you know what size banjo bolt it is for the fuel line? It’s missing it completely and that’s probably my leak
Guessing its 8 mm. Use new crush washers top and bottom.Quote:
