So I have a problem (A) that I need to fix (Fuckin' groundhog did it I think) but I'm not a smart man and have questions.What IS this line? The stuff that pours out sure smells like gas, and there was a lot of it. But isn't that the fuel filter above? Making that the gas line and this something else? Does brake fluid smell like gas?And what's that other line up there?Moving on to the actual fix, the connection at (B) is easy enough but what's that connection at (C) called? Is it possible/easy to replace?How would you replace the damaged section? If there a part for that nylon line between the hard lines i can just buy somewhere, I have failed to find it, don't even know what it's called.Should I just cut on either side and make a new section of line? If so what connectors should I use for that?Thanks for any knowledge you can give me.
>>2991231top steel line is brakebottom chewed hose is fuel return to tank so basically zero pressure if you splice a piece in with double barbs and hose clampsyoull need a fuel line disconnect tool from garage freight or wherever if you have to take the factory joints apart
>>2991233Thanks for identifying those lines for me!Relieved to know it's not the brake line.

>>2991237the fuel pump pressurizes the distribution rail to whatever the injectors are meant to run at. the pump runs at constant output and has excess flow capacity than the injectors use so the rail has a pressure regulator that bleeds the excess pressure off as return flow to the tank

>>2991231>Moving on to the actual fix, the connection at (B) is easy enough but what's that connection at (C) called? Is it possible/easy to replace?The fittings at B and C are both swaged hose fittings. At B, there is also a quick disconnect. The swaged sections (look like hexagonal crimps) compress the flexible hose onto barbs on the steel lines. You can DIY a fix at both ends without needing a swaging tool or new sleeves since this is low pressure.Cut the old swaged sleeves with a dremel (careful for sparks due to gasoline). Make sure you don't cut so deep you damage the hose barbs on the steel line and quick disconnect fitting.Buy new gas hose to fit barb dimensions. Use plain old hose clamps to hold nwe hose on barbs. It's low pressure, they'll hold.The quick disconnect at B and busted old hose can be taken out to a workbench. The steel line heading off the left of your pic from C will probably have to be done in place.
