ISSUE Fuel Line Connector Rusted Together. Any ideas?

[CoconutMilkFrog]

I tried to replace a broken fuel line connector I’ll show in the first picture. Tried everything to separate the connector from the line, but no luck. It’s rusted together. Any ideas? Is it a good idea to find a solution to “permanently” bind those lines together since they aren’t coming apart anyway? I really don’t want to replace the entire line from end to end. Thanks for any advice!

get a new section of line with the coupling that you need. cut the bad section out, get a double flare tool that can do a double flare (like on your brake lines) and double flare the line on the truck and the new section you are inserting in. get a union block that your new double flare can fit in. don't forget to put the line nut on the line before flaring it.

That should get you back up to running safely again, the double flare and splice block will be a good solid splice into your existing lines.
