Fuel lines big problem
#11
thats exactly what I was thinking PAhonda, it hit me and I never thought of it before. I basically have three options here. The hondapartscheap.com option is out the window, I called them up and since it is a bulk item it would cost me $190 alone to ship it plus the $85 for the part!! Wow! So here are my three options:
1) Local Honda Dealership ($135 plus two weeks wait time for special order)
2) Double Flare Nut quick fix that kris suggested (would only be for temporary fix until I get money and time to do otherwise for brand new pipe, but it makes me nervous)
3) Go to Junkyard/U-Pull-It and find a 94 Honda Accord or similar model with the same fuel feed pipe and take it off the car.
--> If I go with option #3 which I definitely am going to seek out first, what are all the models that I can take from. Would it be 94 to 97 Accords EX models only, or just my year?

The 94/95 accord fuel pipe should work.
If you go to a site like hondapartsnow.com, you can look up the part number for that fuel pipe for your car. Click on the part number, and it will show the models that are matches. If you click on each model, it lists all 94 and 95 accords.
The 96 and 97 may work, but it looks like they have a different part number. I am not sure what the difference is between them.

Look for the flaring tool so you can make the proper type of flare on the tubing. If done properly, that's a good permanent fix. After all, that's how the lines fit together anyway. For example the brake lines have that type of connection into the master cylinder, and that's MUCH higher pressure than the fuel.

Better Site for Honda Parts
I recommend Majestic Honda for a good price on Honda parts:
hondaautomotiveparts dot com
It's the cheapest I've found for genuine Honda parts anyway.
I just discovered a leak (apparently from rust) in the high pressure fuel line at the 90-degree joint where the flexible line from the tank joins the metal line that runs to the fuel filter (part number 17707-SM4-A31). Not a cheap part. Planning to replace the fuel line (17700-SM4-A31) and also the fuel pump (17040-SM4-A30) while I've got the tank dropped (it's 21 years old...I figure it might be a good time to replace anyway).

Just me but if the fuel line went, PLEASE check the brake lines back there. Even if they look fine...give them some sort of protection spray-not just a wd40 spray. more like a rust preventer/remover....and the next owner might like it if you treated the new line going in
