macattack Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 got what looks like a oil leak developing on my fuel pump. there is a short approx 12 inch braided hose that comes off the side of the pump that looks like it needs replacing. my question is does it have to be a braided hose and is this a oil line? thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71013-fuel-pump-oil-line/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 yes its an oil line.. #4 braided line and some buildable fittings, and you can make the hose yourself, and repair it if something damages it in the future.. but you can also take it to a hose shop and get one made. I recommend braided line either way.. jojo 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71013-fuel-pump-oil-line/#findComment-520625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Joey Mack Posted January 9, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 9, 2023 It can work, but it is not as flexible, so directing it around corners or bending may be a small challenge.. I doubt it is passing through a narrow area where the larger diameter is a concern.. jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71013-fuel-pump-oil-line/#findComment-520631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
