2002 XC70 Repair Pressure Pipe (Fuel line)

Anyone know the actual fuel pressure of a 2.4 T? Can you of repair the pressure pipe? Mine was severed replacing the sway bar bushings, and before I go thru the trouble of replacing the line, I was wondering if the line can be repaired on the vehicle?

Thanks,

Around 400 kPa/58 PSI.

Thank you vtl. Now I need to see if the hose can be repaired.

Probably much easier and cheaper to swage a piece of replacement line onto the damaged area than replacing the whole line, especially on an XC. You might have to buy a swage tool but you always wanted one anyway

Thanks abscate, I wound up cutting out the damaged piece, cutting the rubber outer housing away and using a fuel line repair kit I found at Pep Boys. I also wrapped the line in a heat shield to protect it from the engine heat, now that the rubber outer shell was removed. I apppreciate everyone's help on this, so far the XC is running great.
