P7100 supply line
I have now cracked my fuel supply line to my injection pump for the second time (first time was on my honeymoon, oops). I have checked all of the bolts on the pump and filter housing and all seem tight. I see the new line from Dodge is no longer a solid steel piece, it has a flexible joint in the middle. My question is has anyone else experienced these problems? Is there a cheaper (and better) way to fix it than spending almost $200 at a Dodge dealer? Thanks for the help!

Find a Cummins store. I cracked that line about a year ago. It only cost around $40. The flexible section in the line is nice if you ever play with the fuel plate. The line should have a cummins tag on it. If not do a search of my name in the help section as I posted it before. Dont overtorque the banjo bolts. This puts stress on the brazed part of the line.

I lost 25gallons of fuel on I93 thanks to that line.. Apparently it was a known troublemaker since it was redesigned with that flexible section.
Ive only got 1000mi on the new one so no idea if it solves the problem.

If anyone has a used line with at least 2" of line sticking out from the injection pump banjo, Id love to buy it from you. I bought this nice new 56$ fuel line from cummins, only to find out for this veggie oil conversion I need to cut the pipe in front of the IP.
I remember there being some talk about banjo-barb connectors out there somewhere. That could be useful

I'd go with a flexible line from Cummins...should be waaaayyy less than $250, and I've been running one for about 65K miles (not even the right one, but I bent it so it would fit) No problems with mine!
