I have been working on my old Ford 2000 3cyl diesel tractor and will be replacing some of the old nylon fuel delivery (gravity pressure) lines and will need to shape some of them to permanent bends. Any ideas on how to shape them would be appreciated.
I am thinking of making a model line from something easily bendable and attaching the nylon tubing to it and heating it in boiling? water for a few minutes and then quenching in cold water---am I way off base here?
I have new fuel injector lines on order for it--can't stop the old ones from leaking at the cav injector pump (can't get them any tighter). I pulled the pump and rebuilt it (resealed and cleaned to bare case). They aren't that difficult to do--don't understand why they want $600 to $1000 for one. Couldn't find one with the right cav number anyhow.
