96 XJ Fuel Line Question

[Drahcir495]

I pulled the 4.0 of my parts XJ and I noticed this piece connecting two of the hard fuel line parts together ->

 

Is this normal or is this some type of repair job?

 

Thanks,

It looks like someone tried to repair or extend the fuel line with some "hard" shrink tubing, the thick stuff with the adhesive inside.

:agree: That's my guess also. But it sure ain't factory issue.

Yeah - it looks just like heat shrink tubing. I know the jeep ran - I guess it would not restrict anything being pushed through that area. I will be looking at other 96 XJ's while I am at the junk yard in the next few weeks - I will let you all know. :cheers:

You won't find anything like that. I don't think 96 was the year for the stupidly insane fuel line extension. That is SO lame...and scary.

 

Ka-BOOM!!
