Also. cut it, compression fit it? umm..Not..sure what that means or how to do it, but if it lasts for three years when done right, I'd really like to know what to do.

use a mix of transmission fluid and acetone. It works 1000 times better than either of those.

mix it up, rub it on and let it sit overnight.

can reduce the breaking power from 500 ft-lb to 20 ft-lb.

do not do a compression fitting, just buy a new line if you have to cut it. I would try everything under the sun before I cut that line. Pain in the arse.

Compression fitting >>

If I've crimped the line though, would that mean I'd have to replace it? Or can the fuel still get through? I'm now more worried about that bend I put into the line, then the broken fuel hose piece i need to get out of the other end. I'm going to go ahead and do the ATF-Acetone mixture. probably raise some container up to the piece on a jack, and fill it, let it soak and see what happens. I'll post the results. Anyone know where to get Acetone..I'm not quite sure wtf that is.

haha, that's funny ATF and Acetone didn't work.

so much for that penetration comparison.

I would have replaced the whole line already. New > home made

well. It did say a "Scientifically rusted environment." ...lol I don't think this kind of "stuck" could be created by any scientist without them taking 5 or 6 years to do it lol. I think I'm just going to replace that hardline. Screw-all lol. I need to get this puppy moving.
