brothertime Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I was replacing the fuel filter on my 91 civic si. I broke the fuel line that goes from the filter to the fire wall. I was wondering a couple of things. First what is it called (part number)? Second does it goes through the firewall? Third is it a hard job to replace? As always thanks for the help up front.

brothertime Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well update I can not fine the fuel pipe anywhere. I have even tried junk yards. Someone said I might try to get the old one fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have never owned a 1991 Honda Civic Si, so please clarify which of the lines shown below is the one you're looking for. The image below is from the Honda eStore, same place I suggest you buy it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brothertime Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sorry it is part number 4 or here is the part that it used to listed under (16721-SH3-934) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Okay. I've checked all my sources and come up with nothing. You were told correctly: get the one you have fixed. Take it to a place that makes hoses. Typically a fork lift shop or hydraulic supply shop will have the equipment to fabricate a new hose but you don't necessarily need to look for a hydraulic supply shop, just ask around the auto shops to see if they know of anyone who fabricates fuel lines. The plus side is it will be much cheaper than if you had found the part. What they do is cut the hose crimp off each end and reuse the hard tubing with new rubber and new crimps. Worse case scenario is they don't have crimps that fit those hard lines and end up using something else and brazing it onto your existing hard line. Either way you leave with a new line.

brothertime Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ya I took it to a hydraulic supply shop and they couldn't help me. Luckily one of the guys working there works on Honda's. he set me up itch a guy who is fabbing a new with the old parts. Not cheap but he told me he has done lots of fuel lines similar to this. Should be done tomorrow with any luck. I will let you all know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Cool. Remember, fuel lines, A/C lines, P/S lines, etc can all be fabricated using the old line's hard ends. It's just a matter of finding someone that can crimp on the new hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothertime Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yes thank you for all your help here. I got it back, a lil pricey but well worth it to me. Went back together much better and no leaks. Not I am having problems with the main relay. Man what a job getting that thing out. But I did get it out and a new one on its way should be here in a few days. I was going to try to fix it myself but really not that good at soldering.

James Matteu Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 You can always try. If it doesn't work then you have the new one on its way anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothertime Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi everyone and just a lil update. I got the new main relay installed and everything seems fine. Have not had a problem starting it when I warm it up. Now that's I trust it to drive it I noticed it needs a muffler and the idel is a lil low when its all weed up. Looks like it is below 500 on the tack. It doesn't seen like it wants to die but I don't remember it being this low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Low back pressure may affect the idle. Fix the muffler then revisit the idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothertime Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 ok got almost all the exhaust fixed on it. Idle is still a lil low. From the cat on back had to be replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
