HELP broke the vacuum line on the fuel pressure regulator

[jrl2512]

Ok so I was checking the fuel pressure with the line off, and that little elbow vacuum hose that attaches to the top of the regulator snapped. I have it jerry rigged with electrical tape for now but I don't think it can hold for long. Any idea where I can get the replacement t for this? Thanks

You can just replace it with some rubber vacuum tubing. Do not give the engine any boost until you get this squared away or you will be putting head gaskets on it next weekend.

Okay good. I have tons of that. Just thought it needed a special vacuum fitting. Thanks a bunch

It just has to be air tight, hold boost, and not collapse under high vacuum.

Do you think silicone vacuum lines would do the trick?

As long as they can hold the boost level you're running.

Zip tie whatever you put on.

If you need the plastic hose portion of the elbow let me know ... I made tons of them

 

[jrl2512]

So I found some emission tubing and made my own hose fitting. Doesn't look bad I think.

Looks good...but take if off and do this...much safer...

Mind me asking what type of vacuum line that is? As in fuel injection, fuel line, etc?

 

[Boostian]

Do what X-ray posted. And zip tie them

 

[jrl2512]

Yeah I'll pick up a tube tomorrow and redo it

Standard vacuum line.

alright, how's this?

I would say that could support more boost than the motor could handle .. nice !

its rated for 100 psi

 

[Boostian]

Holy shit. That will work

 

[jrl2512]

I made it longer since I'm replacing the fuel pressure regulator this Tuesday

That should do it. Just don't go over 65 pounds of boost
