I need to remove 3/8" bore 'braided rubber' fuel pipe, from the side of petrol pump/filter combination unit.
Hook up temporary fuel supply (part of the winterizing process) then refit original fuel pipe.
This fits onto a brass 'barb' male fitting - then secured by jubilee clip ...... The issue is it is at full arms stretch, bad enough to pull the thing off, trying to push it back on is pretty difficult.
Is there any lubricant I can smear onto barb to help refit, obviously don't want to put anything on that would damage fuel injection system, by putting 'lube' on the bar would minimise it getting into the tube.
Is there a trick mechanics use ?
