Gas leak with Steel putty

[sharmasu]

Hi,

I looked for a bit through the forms and I found a post relating to this but couldn't get what I needed from it. I have a gas leak from a line near the drivers rear.

I believe it is a return line but I dont have much info on it. I put steelstik, a last ditch effort, but I know I have to replace the line. Does anyone know the part number, I cant find it, also any any repair advice

Thank you all, I can post more pictures if need be got these from the interwebs

I believe the line has been discontinued. I'm not 100% certain, but that's what a friend told me when I was looking to replace my tank last year (24 years of salted roads = rotted lines... as I'm sure you know!)

You can check on hondaautomotiveparts.com. You should be able to find the part number on there. If it's still available, they have really good prices.
Most likely, a custom line will need to be fabricated. It's not too difficult to do yourself with a few inexpensive tools, if you're up to the task. Having a shop do it for you shouldn't be too crazy expensive (I had a brake line fabbed for $100.)

thats a pressurized line, see the crimps vs the others with clips.
anyway I had the same issue on my old CB, it was a field repair which consisted of cutting away the rot and using rubber fuel line that was double clamped. It was meant as a temp fix, but it held up for years without a problem till I scrapped the shell. fixing it "right" might end up being a costly can of worms due to all the rust. good luck.

You have to custom fabricate one using the lines from AutoZone with a union to join the lines more than likely and bend it just like how they do the brakes or take that off completely and try to clean the rust off with a dremel and some fluids

Part number is 17700-SM1-A30, but shows as discontinued on Majestic's site. Note that the line runs all the way from the tank up to the fuel filter. I have a full set of lines from the coupe I wrecked in 2012 for the next time I need one. You're not likely to find a good one in a JY in NJ, so you're left to custom fabrication. Unfortunately, those other lines don't look so good either.

Double clamping rubber hose works OK in a pinch. You can also use brass compression fittings to repair. (the pressures inside of a fuel injection line are well below the maximum of a compression fitting).

^x2, I wouldn't even bother changing out the whole fuel line, double compression fittings would work perfectly to patch in a new section of 5/16" hardline. You would reuse the old flare nut or get a new one and flare the other end, just like original. Spray all the other lines in fluid film or oil, that'll prevent the rust from getting any worse. Do not clad the lines/rust with undercoating or paint, you'll only make it worse as the rust will continue to grow under the coating.
