Crimped Line

EricS09RA · #1 06-29-2011, 01:55 PM

While raising my car and trying to put a jack stand underneath, the car slid off the jack and the jack stand crimped a line pretty bad. There are six lines that travel front to back underneath the driver side of the car. The jack stand crimped one of the center lines pretty badly. Are these fuel lines? If so, what will be the consequence of easily driving it before it's fixed? Please help...

I think I know what you're referring to, but can you post pics?

This is the group of lines

this is where it got crimped

counting from driver side to passenger side, it is #3

I just drove around a bit to see if there was anything wrong. No CEL's, no difference in the brake pedal, and nothing leaking. I'm gonna have to continue to drive her till I'm able to get it fixed, but I'd still like to know exactly what's running through that line.

Any competent parts guy at Mitsu can tell you if its brake or fuel,fuel vapor line or not.Or look at it on lift,and trace it to its origin.That should tell the story.

that line in particular, I believe goes to the reservoir in the trunk.
Diff. fluid line? I could be wrong, I need to check service manual.

Driver side is all fuel/vapor lines.

Passenger side are brakes lines.

No diff lines would go back there as you have no rear hydraulic diff system.

cool, then it would be a fuel line. if it's a vapor or return line, is there any urgency in fixing it?
