2004 ford ranger 4L5Z-9J338-BA

[Wrenchtard]

I’ve hit a snag, I’ve damaged a line. Part 4L5Z-9J338-BA there are no direct replacements I have found to buy online since it’s been long since discontinued. I am wondering what other people have done to fix this problem on their 2004-2006 2.3L’s fuel systems? Maybe a similar part or if anyone has found the fittings as independent parts? maybe even a place I have failed to look? I do not want to remove the line from my vehicle without a replacement I manufacture or purchase as I only get one shot with this 22 year old part.

Thank you.

Welcome to TRS!

Is that metal tubing on both sides? I know individual parts are available for the nylon stuff.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Yea, the hard part are the fittings they are unique. I still have a working truck and I have no idea of the internal state of the fittings on the vehicle Im not sure how they
will hold up if removed.

It’s Schrödinger’s car part.

try searching Earls fuel line fittings, or the big speed parts retailers.
you won't get the entire hose but can get enough parts to make/repair one.

I'll see what I can search up, but I know you should be able to find each end and replace the line with nylon.
