my fuel lines = rusted junk

well last weekend i decided i would change my fuel filter, which i have never changed in the time i've owned the car. since one step forward always equals 2 steps back, the braided fuel line that comes down from the tank practically disitigrated at the fitting due to rust. basically the 2 braided supply/return lines are shot, and the vent tubes that run alongside the filler tube are in equally bad shape. are these parts that are sill available? i can't wait to deal with dropping the tank and changing everything, while battling 20 years of rust.....

They're braided? That's odd... I don't remember my '90, nor my '89 being anything but solid steel lines.

 

If they're not available, they should be somewhat straightforward to fabricate.

 

DORMAN Part # 55180 for example.

Both my TGP and my TSTE had/have braided lines coming from the tank. Thankfully my the TSTE ones started leaking I was able to replace them with the TGP's...

92+ cars did not have those braided lines, they went to "it won't rust plastic" for the most part

 

Also You want a Parts number thread. It shal be.
