Recently put my cherokee back together and the small line from the sending unit to the line that runs along the unibody rail is leaking at the sending unit. Not sure why. Also the line that runs from the fuel rail down to the unibody line is leaking where it's held to the intake manifold. Where can I get new pre bent lines?

Sending unit? What are you referring to? Got a pic?

91_XJ_Dude

No pic but the little 10" line that clips to the sending unit is leaking right at that connection.

either the seal is bad in the quick connector or the sending unit is rotted out.

probably the sending unit is rotted out.

the right fix is removing the tank and replacing the sending unit, you may have enough clean line to put a compression fitting on it as a bandaid.

nah the sending unit is fine. I ended up just pulling the quick connector clips off the sending unit and the unibody mounted line and using regular rubber fuel line and some clamps. Seems to be holding fine. I'm not spending $150 at the jeep dealer for those lines. I had everything in my toolbox and it didn't cost me any money. Haha.

rubber hose huh? good luck with that.

91_XJ_Dude

Well it's not just regular rubber hose. It's high pressure fuel line. I'm not worried about it. There isn't that much pressure running through that line.

I had the fuel pressure regulator on top of fuel sending unit have small crack in it. Would only leak if started. Just replaced it

I also replaced my stock line with rubber fuel hose and clamps and no problems at all just as good as stock

I've seen a couple rigs burn up because of rubber fuel line and hose clamps.

Quick connector is around five bucks at autozone.
