Review on Dorman 800 082 Fuel Line Fitting by Dru Labrado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A simple fuel line connector that works very well!

These connectors work great but fully connecting the nylon fuel line can be a lot of work. Heat gun but be careful not to overheat it too hot or the nylon cord will bubble, about 400 degrees is right. Move the heat gun around the entire diameter of the pipe. Once flexible enough, slide the hose over the Dorman fuel line fitting. Perhaps place the connector on a hard surface like a table first. If it doesn't go through the 3rd rib on the connector, heat it up a little more, keep it as straight as possible and be patient. I replaced the fuel pump on a '98 Ford Explorer and this fuel line fitting from Dorman. In the end the job was done and best of all: NO LEAKS!

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
