Yea, go to the dealer and buy a new one. I've broken that fuel line before, its a dealer only part, I wana say it cost like 70 or 80 dollars for a new one.

so I finished my swap and my jeep has a lot of smoke coming out the tail pipe, white smoke with a hint of black, and a rough idle. anyone know what the problem would be? bad injector?

theres a little bracket you can unbolt on the intake. it will give you some more wiggle room. but i dont see why you wouldnt be able to disconnect the line.

Alright sounds good, I wanna try and minimize unneeded expenses right now since I still need to get a few more parts replaced on my XJ for this summer.
