| I bought a pipe flaring tool at a local auto parts
store for around $6. Simple to use and works very well.
The silver part of the tool is attached to the fuel line with the pipe
extending just beyond the edge of the tool. The red part of the
tool is used to add the flare the the pipe. |
 |
| To remove the old flare nut, I cut off the flared
portion of the fuel line. |
 |
| I purchased a new flare nut for 69 cent at the same
place I bought the flaring tool. |
 |
| I placed the new flare nut on the fuel line and used
the tool to add the flare. |
 |
| Complete project. Simple to do and inexpensive
considering the alternative of replacing the entire fuel line. |
