Well I guess when i was tryin to wrench the hell out of that notorious fuel line fitting in the trunk I must bent my my rusted and corroded metal fuel line that runs to the first rubber line of the system. Because there's slight hole which I have been keeping closed with JB weld but its only a temporary repair. I want to know what the name of that cover over the fuel tanks is with the tube and fuel pump bracket that kind of looks like a man hole with all the little screws to seal it. I want to order a new one if possible because the jb weld just cant hold up to that constant pressure. Anyone have any idea what this part is called and where I can order one?

Sounds like you need a new fuel pump sending unit. I don't think you can get them from the dealership anymore. DSG made a nice stainless piece but they quit making it so you'd need to find one used.

The easiest fix to this without replacing the entire unit is to cut the rest of the line off flush. Drill the hole out bigger and install a bulk head fitting. This way u can run -an line from the pump and then ull never have to worry about getting the line off again. This is what i did and makes life much easier when removing the fuel pump
Yeah that sounds like it would be the best bet. If you could give me some more info on how you did that I would greatly appreciate it. What type of fitting did you use and what tools did you use to drill out the plate for the new fitting? Do I just need to get a 90 degree end fitting and a coupler? Pictures would be helpful too, I think I have see other people with this set up but I'm not sure where to look.

You need to use R10 intank submergable fuel line for the rubber line thats in tank. Here is what I did. Nevermind the new red and black wires. That was part of a re-wire to the fuel pump that I did. You can reuse your stock wires.

I can get you a used pump/sending unit possibly. No guarantees but I wouldn't charge you more than shipping

just go to A&A auto parts or anyplace that sells -An fittings and buy a bulk head fitting and the nut that goes with it. I used -6an since i already have that run for the whole fuel system. Just cut the remaining of broken hard line off flush(i used a dremel) and then get some good drill bits or i had a old porting bit i used to open the hole up bigger. make the hole big enough so the fitting just fits in and then put the nut on the bottom and tighten it up real good. Run some line to the pump and the to the front of the car and ur done
