;)Hi I'm new here.. I bought recently a 2005 explorer sport trac with fire damage (for a helluva good price) and just wanted to know how could I fix the fuel line that goes from the tube coming from the tank to the engine... And the return line that I do not know how it looks like cause it's completely damaged... If anyone has a pic of their truck that wouldn't mind showing it to me I would be very thankful... It's the left side of the truck under the brake booster thanks :-)
 






Hi Arts
I'm new here too, and nobody has answered my question either.
Beginning to wonder if we posted in the wrong area.

I can tell you to go check out some Ford parts web sites. They will have images hopefully for what your seeking.
You can try Tasca at: http://www.tascaparts.com

Put in your vehicle info, go to the fuel system, then fuel induction, then fuel injection. The line I believe you are questioning is called the fuel rail. They are not showing a picture, however if you contact a local dealer they should be able to supply you with an image and parts availability, if nothing else at least what size the fuel lines are.

Steel lines can be purchased at a local part store in various lengths and as rolls by the footage, along with fittings and line tools for bending. If you have never done this kind of work before I suggest you find a friend who has and can show you how. You need to use the tool for bending the line as you can't have any kinks in it to restrict the flow of the fuel.

I did all the rail lines on my 95 Blazer 2 years ago. It was just normal steel line that had to be cut, flaired, and attached with the correct fittings, as well as bent to fit. It can be a time consuming process trying to get a good fit, but remember that the lines have to be flaired correctly, and placed correctly, because Fuel Injected systems run at a higher psi then the older carb systems. And be weary of installing braided lines along the rails. These areas have extreme corosion issues, and could become pinched or damaged from road debris.
I hope I have helped you in some way. Best of luck on your new purchase.
