Newbie: Cylinder fuel supply line replacement

[ynotrobits]

Hello all,

I'm the unexpected owner of an 84 Volvo wagon and although an OK mechanic, I'm unfamiliar with diesel repairs.

Here's my issue: My Volvo is running rough and I took it to a local diesel mechanic who informed me that someone had spliced a section of the #1 cylinder fuel supply line with a section of foreign tubing. (I'm assuming that the #1 cylinder is the cylinder closest to the radiator)

He said that I should replace both the tubing and the injector.

My question is, is there an aftermarket generic tubing product that I can use that has the correct wall thickness and if so, what is the correct length for the #1 fuel supply line? It's my understanding that all the lines need to be the same length.

Or, is there a resource where I can buy an aftermarket supply line?


Thank you for looking
