What kind of fuel line do you need and how long? I usually just use the rubber line and some clamps if its a short run. No sure if that will work in your situation or not. I actually have replaced sections of all 3 of my gas lines in my other car with this method.

Is there any metal line coming off the filter that you can slide a rubber hose over and clamp it on? If there is that will save you a LOT of money. If you have any fittings that are stopping you from doing this, cut em off! I do it a little backyard-ish but it works.. I just cut them with a pair of side cutters. The fuel line always gets crushed flat so I just insert a nail to open it up and then a punch (or similar metal object) to make the line round again and then slide the rubber hose on and clamp it down.

P.S. if you do this, make sure you get high pressure fuel line! I just replaced a section of my line in my car because the previous owner attempted this very thing, but used vacuum line instead.

Nah, the egr gets in the way of the fitting on the old rail.

Car together, throwing 2 codes:

8 - TDC prolly a wiring issue
48 - LAF this is what scares me...hope it's a wiring issue.

These codes only came on after a little bit of letting the car run/heat up/drive.

Advice?

Also, I filled up the radiator and waited for it to get unfull at the thermostat opened, but it never did...should I pop off the tstat housing and messing with it in case it's stuck.

Thanks all.
