anybody here know if there is a replacement fuel line kit that would fit an '89 std cab sb v6 4x4?

I think I can make the fuel lines from many of the AN6 kits on amazon or ebay if I really have to, but I was looking for something like a stainless steel kit that will just replace all the hard lines and fittings with stainless pre-bent tubing..since I had the line coming out of the fuel filter leaking fuel from a rust spot, I just want to be safe, and replace all of the fuel lines, from the motor back to the tank on my truck...dealer I was using for parts says the factory lines aren't available anymore..


amazon fuel line kit I was thinking I could modify to fit the Toyota

 

Let's see. Your factory steel fuel lines quit after only 32 years. Stainless will be more brittle than steel (and much more brittle than NiCopp), but if don't want to have to replace them again before 2053 (all that salt spray in Yuma, ya know), stainless might be worth the extra cost and hassle.

Like any other (OEM) car built in the last 50 years, your Toyota has all metric fittings and steel fuel lines. If you want to go AN6, you'll have to get a converter for every connection. The kit you cited was all rubber hose; fine for a while, but not for another 32 years.

I'd suggest replacing every line that worries with the OEM equivalent: steel, or if you want to splurge (and make it a little easier on yourself) NiCopp. The fittings aren't hard to find
(someone, like you, will have to confirm that M10-1 is the right size) You'll probably want a simple tube bender
just so your lines will look like a pro installed them.

 

thanks for the reply..

I have worked with nickel copper (cupronickel) for transmission, and brake lines before, so I have a nice assortment of tubing cutters, benders, and flaring tools in my toolbox..
I only mentioned stainless because that was the material the pre-made kits used..I have used the kits for the brake lines on my '88 YJ, when I did the frame off restoration on it 20 years ago, and also on my '02 GMC Sierra when the rear brake line failed because of rust, then again a year or so later when the fuel lines started to leak on it...I used to live in northern NJ, so these vehicles have seen lots of salt on the roads in their lifetimes...

the fuel line kit I mentioned from Amazon uses ptfe tubing, a plastic, not rubber so it's safe for use with today's crappy fuel, and won't be disintegrating like the rubber hoses can and do.

Also there are many adapters that go from the metric fittings to an AN6 fitting, so if I have to go that route it shouldn't be that a big a problem to overcome...and in case anybody is wondering, according to my internet research, the fitting on the supply line coming off of the fuel pump hanger is a short M14x1.5 inverted flare...the same as can be found on certain Honda's and Mitsubishi's...like this one





I haven't had the time to check out the rest of the line to see what other fitting may be required, but I doubt I'd run into any fitting that can't be dealt with appropriately

all that being said, it sure would be easier if someone knew of a correct pre-made, pre-bent, hard line kit available somewhere, and would be kind enough to point me in that direction

 

so, no one here knows of any fuel lines available for these vehicles?...

OK, how about this....does anyone have access to a fuel system diagram that they would care to share with me, that would call out what and where all of the fittings are, so I can have them in hand before I actually start pulling rusty fuel lines out from under the truck?

normally I would just get out there and look myself, but here in Yuma it's been around 115* (and it's been hotter in the garage) everyday for a couple weeks now

maybe something like this for an '89 v6 4WD std cab sb.. at least it would give me some part #'s to look up

 

Heh. I lived in Yuma nearly 30 years.
Hated every minute of it, other than my second marriage. Oh, and my property, way out there across from Britain's Farmhouse. Nice place, I thought. Other than the well. Terrible water.
Is the balloon still out there on 95? I worked there nearly 20 years. Just wondering.

Sorry, I don't have any better fuel system diagram that what is shown. Wish I could help more...

So far I like it here in AZ, except when it gets over 115* during the day, every day, for a couple weeks straight..that's just too hot for too long!!

I moved from New Jersey (where my truck acquired it's rust) to Yuma just in time for covid and to be locked down, so I haven't really been out to eat at many places other than to pick up a pizza a couple times from the Little Caesars down the street...honestly, I don't really go out to eat much anyways, have always been the type that would rather cook myself..then I have no one to blame, but me, if it doesn't turn out right

I haven't heard of any balloon, where is this balloon supposed to be? I live near S Araby and 8, over by AWC, and I'll go check the area out over the weekend. I want to get out and check out some SxS's anyway
