fuel line repair or replace??Yanmar 1500

[cliff880]

Both fuel lines that originate at the fuel pump and terminate at the injectors have worn and are leaking where the lines bend around the front of the engine block.I removed the lines and tried wrapping them with copper wire impregnated with JB Weld thinking that since they were small holes then this would work,it didn't Any ideas??

Replace them . Check some dealers on the yanmar section. They may have some parts tractors or a line set that will work

This is about the only repair that I have had to do that wasnt self inflicted, I used auto parts store fuel line and gave it a little twist before clamping

Save yourself the trouble later. Replace them.

If the fuel line stopped your leaks, let it ride till you have another problem. No since wasting money.....

Might have fixed a suction line.. but since those are multi-thousand psi lines.. I wouldn't have even trried that.

braze them.. run some extra brass around the areas with the most wear.

I have used brazed hyd lines with no problem..
