JB Weld?

Run a tap through it and use a brass barbed nipple.

Pixs of what it should look like and piping that connects to it

I came here to post this

Would you screw into the intake? how would it stay in place? with the pressure of itself and the ripples? should i apply a adheasive?

also, how would I connect it to the plastic pipe line?

Thanks for your input

JB Weld?

do they make that for plastic?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

They do make a specific plastic formula if I recall, however the regular stuff works on wood, plastic, metal, you name it.

How much tension is put on that tube would be my question?

I better solution is what was posted above about tapping it out and putting in a brass fitting, but if you're just wanting to get it fixed and move on...

Screw it into the intake, but use a tap to cut threads.. They’re fiberglass reinforced plastic, VERY strong stuff and will take a fastener or thread no problem. Use a little thread sealant or Teflon tape on the thread. Cut off the fitting on that plastic tube and slide it onto the barbed nipple. I bet it would take 30+ psi to blow it off the barb with no clamps.

Thanks! Will do, I'll post pics of the aftermath

That EVAP line wont go over the barbed fitting tho. You would have to connect the line somehow. How much slack is in that line?

buy new car /thread

Cut off fitting and it will. Splice in more line with a double sided barb....

Could do that.

Real problem is the next time to have to remover the intake you wont have a disconnection point. The plastic line has to be heated and melted onto the barbs basically.



What I would do is get a barb on the line, melt it to the barb then go and grab fuel injection line and run a small piece in between that and the barb on the intake and make sure you purchase fuel injection line clamps as well. Regular clamps will chew into the rubber line.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Or just cut the piece of patch hose off the barb each time and replace because its cost effective, simple and it works and how often do you remove your intake?

Not that often Rich.

 

[RICH17]

eh, true. Heating those lines up are a PITA tho.

 

[EmersonHart13]

True, it would have been easier if the OP hadn't broken it in the first place.

 

[HeavyG]

hmmm, that never crossed my mind :smile:
