Fantastic thankyou repaired my nylon car fuel line after the garage split the nylon pipe replacing my fuel filter . The part I needed was not manufactured anymore so I took a pipe from a car of the same make and year from a breakers yard and used the push on connectors as described . Purchased the connectors from amazon for £5.00 for 5 connectors. Brilliant 👏 video.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for, that 2nd method w/hair dryer. I received one unit (Fuel Pump Assembly for 2001 Saturn SL2), it is OEM, but the central tube isn't pushed all the way to the end, like a gap ~2mm to where it is supposed to be. I thought maybe to use heat gun a bit, but was afraid to damage the tube (and the unit is ~$330), as was said in the film. But the hair dryer won't hurt anything. Also that type of connections you can see on many aftermarket FPs, if you want to replace just the motor, you would need to disconnect and put back a lot of those w/wavy surface.

I am awaiting some fuel line ends and unions, so glad to hear they work well, the unions. Also, that a hair drier would do the trick. I had to cut a whole to access the fuel leak. I had a factory made line I had never been able to replace, failing tiwce to remove the tank. Now, with the tank loosened a bit I easily slipped a wire down and drew the line into place. But after driving it seemed the other disconnect, the return line, leaked. Or, there was a leak on an extreme turn. In any case I have new ends and unions so--if I had damaged the factory part trying to remove the o-ring, I still have a way to go with new ends.

Do you have a technique for making tight radius bends without creasing? I've tried all heating methods but they will crease before getting to 90*. It must be possible since the OEM nylon line I am replacing has such bends. The 3/8 fuel line piece I'm replacing makes a tight S bend within 4". I can't even get close to that.

If you have to create a certain bend , you will have to put a soft copper piece of tube inside The plastic line , heat it and make your bend then remove the copper pipe. It’s called mandrel bending. It’s so the plastic line doesn’t kink.

Are those fittings in any way rated to handle fuel? From what I could find, they arenonly used for air in air compressor systems. That's kind of a big deal, tou dont want the plastic degrading over time and having fuel leaking everywhere...
