Default Fuel Lines on 98


Did an oil sender relocate couple of weeks ago & now finding couple of drips of oil in garage under rear of engine, so guess I didn't get the line to seal properly. This time I'm going to take the manifold all the way out. Where do I get the tool for disconnecting the fuel lines, do I have to buy at Chevy dealer? And after I do the R/R will I have to prime the lines to get the car to start? And if so, how do I do that?

You can get the tool at most any Automotive parts store. You will NOT need to worry about priming. Just keep any dirt out of the fuel lines.

NAPA stores carry a tool that costs about $6. Snap-on also has a tool that costs about $45, but I found it easier to use. Fortunately I have a friend that I was able to borrow the Snap-on tool from or I would have used the NAPA tool.
