Icon5 94 Ranger Splash Fuel lines? Help!!??

Ok, I've about had all I can stand with this truck. I'm $3,200 deep into this truck. After all new Sensors, a New computer, Complete new Brake system. The Transmission goes out, got that Re-built, then it quits firing, finally got that problem figured out. Now the fuel line coming from the tank to the Fuel filter has a hole in it, and it's Plastic. Where can I get a new fuel line set other than a Junk yard or the Dealer?
As you can see this truck has given me a Fight from the word Go!! No wonder it only has 100,000 miles on it, It has spent most of it's life sitting in the Yard broke. But it's such a cool truck when it's running. GRRRRRRRR!!

Fuel line will be metal, might have a plastic coating.

My '94 is metal lines from tank to engine bay then changes to braided mesh over rubber lines for connection to fuel rail and FPR

Yes, wrecking yard for 1994.
If you remove the line you could take it to a shop that makes brake and fuel lines, they can bend tubing to match and then put on the correct ends
They could also fix the leak in current line, by installing a connector where it is broken


Years ago I would go after "low milers", after a few of these it dawned on me that I was having to fix things all the time.
They looked good but because they were driven infrequently, ALL the seals would dry out, all the oil was drained down so each startup would wear out bearings more, in engine and trans, inside of engine and trans was caked with residue because they were never warmed up all the way.
Wiring was brittle and moldy, both, found a few "mouse houses", lol.

Now I am a medium to high mile buyer, been there done that for low milers as daily drivers, they just don't like the change to being used every day, lol.

I hope you are out of the woods on the expensive repairs but it will be an ongoing issue, you have all the "normal" issues that will come up for 23 year old parts, plus all the "low miler" issues.
1994 with 100k miles means it was driven an average of 366miles a MONTH

I hear ya!! I've got a 01 Ranger Edge 4x4 that is my Daily driver. It has 250,000+ on it, and is still going strong. I thought this one would make a great 2nd driver. But in the 5 years I've owned it, I haven't put but 6,000 miles on it. Because it stays broke. I'm just about ready scrap the 4.0L and V-8 the sucker!!

@RonD the fuel line is rubber coated Nylon (Plastic ) No Metal under the coating. The ford dealership doesn't have it, and neither does any aftermarkets stores that I can find.

I would have sworn mine is metal.

Anyway try bronco graveyard they have Ranger stuff as well

They have nylon fuel line ends here: Ranger Fuel Systems-Broncograveyard.com

I imagine they also have correct size nylon hose that could be used to make the whole line if needed

They do list this: http://shop.broncograveyard.com/1966...uctinfo/10296/
10ft of 5/16" nylon fuel line, Rangers should use same size, 5/16"
