Fuel Filter & lines - what to do?

[SubwayGuy]

So, due to problems told of (here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...or-02-1999-GTP ) I figured I'd get a fuel filter since it's a good thing to replace and I doubt the one on my car had ever been replaced. We started to wrench a little on the old one and the line leading to it started leaking like crazy. So, we just cut it off since it's all rusted and leaky.



What is a good solution to this? Will a redneck hose-clamping and some rubber hose work between a connector on the filter and where the piping isn't rusted? (I don't like that idea, but my Dad does, lol) Is there a good fitting/piping I cam get in there to hook up to the new filter? Should I do some other system with a different style filter, should I replace the whole line (what would that take and cost?), ect.?

Just looking for the equilibrium of best (long lasting - I'll be putting around 7k miles from now till spring driving to college) and cheapest way to fix this.

Any suggestions appreciated!

I don't know how much pressure is in those lines, but it might. Maybe if you clamp it on really good. And how did you cut the line off? I keep imagining you using a little Dremel thing with sparks flying everywhere and your car starting on fire lol. But obviously it didn't.

I'm thinking about doing a clamped hose, but I just want to avoid possible issues later and want it to work good and not have to be messed with for a long while - if ever, since it's my only vehicle and all.

I'm thinking taking a rubber hose and shoving it like 6 inches up the fuel line so it's on there long enough it can't come off easily and then clamping it on with everything you've got. I don't think there is too much pressure that it'll just blow right off. But then again, that might not work. But I would try that first before you start attaching lines and stuff.
