Where is the cheapest place I can get the rubber fuel line that connects to the fuel rail?

The car listed above LE model was built in Ky. I am needing the rubber fuel line that goes to the fuel rail on my car.
Does any company make an aftermarket fuel line to fit my car ?
I know that Toyota sells this part .

Is this the fuel line that you are referring too? Please see below for the picture.

If so then I would suggest going to a salvage yard. Unfortunately there are not many alternatives for these types of lines. Not many companies reproduce them as they are specifically molded for one engine and it is a lot of work to make them for just one engine which means they don't make a lot of money on them. Plus they don't fail that often so it is not something that is commonly replaced, making it even harder to make money with them.

You can also try eBay or other auction sites.

however, if you can remove the rubber line and reuse the connectors then you can just use bulk fuel line from a parts store and connect it to the existing connectors.

Please let us know if you have questions on this.

Okay. I would search for the line in a salvage yard and if you don't find it then you should be able to cut the rubber line off or if there is just a section of it then just cut that out and splice in a new small section.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Please come back again.

I fixed it like you said, spliced it with a high pressure rubber hose, used hose clamps to get it finished. It's working so far, thanks.

Sounds great. Those hoses last about 7-10 years so you are fine but just keep it in the back of your mind that it is on there if you ever have pressure issues. They normally dry root and allow air in and the pressure drops. However, it is clearly an easy fix.

Thanks for the update and for using 2CarPros again.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Just to add my 2 cents. I would only consider this to be a temporary fix. Even though you used high pressure fuel line with hose clamps that could still possibly fail causing a fire hazard from leakage. Your fuel system is pressurized between 44-50 PSI. I would find a proper replacement hose with the proper end connections to prevent anything catastrophic from happening. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
