Default Broken Fuel Line, Need Help

Hey guys my fuel line has broken right on the switch that connects to the lower intake. Has this happened to anyone before? Do I need to replace the whole line, and where can I find a place to order one? I tried atlantic british but unless im not looking in the right place they dont carry that item.

Use the diagram at Rovers North and then do a Google search for what you need.

I've created my own fix to this by using hose clamps, brass barbs/elbows and high pressure fuel line injector hose. Does anyone know how much pressure is run through the fuel lines/pump?

i would replace it. Last thing you want is fuel sparying on the coil packs. I would call a land rover bone yard and get a used one. I have replace that whole line for leaking. Its not too bad. You don't have to remove the Plenum but its kinda worth it since a real pain doin it with it on. I wouldn't fix it

I don't think that I need to replace the line. It's just the button connection that attaches with an end cap on the fuel line. I'm waiting to here back to from a few local part outs to see if I can pick one up. I have a pretty secure connection right now and this would only temporary. There is enough room for me to work back there with the lower intake on, I just have to get the coil pack out.

Your fix is not tested against changing temps, 200 degrees under the hood.
Freezing.
Expansion contraction.
Eventually, your rover will catch on fire.

if you insist on burning up your rover, then at least get a fire extinguisher rated for burning liquids.
