90 Degree Elbow
 

Hi all, I have a 95 Lesabre and my ? is on the fuel return line there is a 90 Degree elbow that connects to the fuel pressure regulator, it is leaking, can someone tell if it has any O rings in it that can be replaced ? Being that this is 25 yrs old I cant find the line anywhere. And if no O rings can the Elbow be eliminated in any way ? My thinking is cut the Elbow off , Flare the tube put 3/8 " rubber gas line a couple inches long and tighten down with screw clamps, any help would be Greatly appreciated.

When you can't get the right parts , sometimes we have to make a system that is safe and works.

I need to caution you that there is considerable pressure on the line coming from the tank to the pressure regulator and There are better things to use than "Rubber hose".
You seem to realize what you can do with tubing (Which has to be flared here" and if you check with an auto supply store (Maybe NAPA) they should have all the fittings you would need to install a safe and reliable connection. It will be a challenge, but when we have no other option, we do what we must !

Last, but not least, you might have some good luck with trying a salvage yard and getting the entire good part without changing anything.

Thanks for your response
