Does anyone have any installation instructions for attaching the nylon fuel hose to the steel fuel lines. I had a hole in the nylon hoses and I need to replace them. I got some nylon hose but I cant get in on the steel line. Do I have to heat it up and side it on the steel line?

I'm not sure on how to get it on, but you could use compression fittings to adapt -an lines.

I fought that fight myself and It was impossible to get them on without heating them. I used a handheld propane torch. Use the lowest setting and hold it as fer away from the nylon hose as possible. I was able to heat it enough that it slid right on. I did mine last summer and they are solid so far. Be careful with where you point the flame while your uder there.
