How can I repair a fuel line puncture?
I have a small cut in a fuel line in the front passenger side wheel-well. Is there a way to repair the fuel line without removing and replacing it?

Assuming the cut isn't any longer than a 1/4 inch go to nappa and ask for a 10mm (3/8) nylon fuel
line splice. I am not 100% sure it is 10mm at that point but it likely is. Really just ask them everything you need and they'll take care of you.

Buy some rubber fuel line and hose clamps... either cut the puncture out...
or splice in a new piece depending on the size of the dammage.
If you have room, you could double up on the hose clamps.
