Default In-Tank Fuel Lines

I'm going through the leaky fuel lines inside the tank ordeal, my question is are just the lines available? They are not clamped, they are snap in place. Does anybody have a parts manual for the numbers? This is a 2009 Heritage. I already have the regulator and the filter. I searched the forum but didn't have any luck.

Last time I did this (the 2nd time on my softail) I had to get the whole line with the quick release clip for the fuel tank. The first time I managed to get just the fuel line but that was back in 2006.

Headsup...Im doing mine on the rocker this winter and per some good info on here will be using the Gates submersable fuel line (someone just did a writeup...do a search). The way the stock one works it can get pin holes...writeup was in the last couple weeks.

Did research on this issue earlier in the year. Long story short, use Submersible Fuel Lines from Gates. Superior product. You'll need to purchase two. Product photo attached.

I found the post by WS6Formula, some good research there. Looks like Zanotti's is the cheapest, are they still online? I heard they quit selling online.

At what point in time does this problem manifest itself?? I have a 08 FXSTC with right at 50K on it and have yet to experience any problems, knock on wood.

My 2009 Heritage at 44,000, which is 4,000 past the service interval for the fuel filter. Methinks there is a lesson here.

The problem mostly seems to be related as to how often U use gas with Ethanol in it and now I've even read where Sta-Bil fuel treatment could also be causing it. A lot of new boat owners are also have same problems.

Mine got the pin hole last Yr on my 07 at 33k, she was 4yrs + old and buying her new I know whats been put in her. I dont' use Ethanol hardly at all, Still have 50% of the stations that sell reg unleaded here. But I do use Sta-Bil for storing.

SO it seem about 4-5 yrs, regardless of miles U can get the pinhole in the gas line.
Two of my friends also had the same thing last summer, both was on 06's.

My bike starting missing out because of the pinhole while I was over 500 miles from home. No choice but to have a dealer repair it.. 2 hrs labor charge and $$325.oo later I was on the road again in 2 1/2 hrs,, I had everything inside the tank replaced. Hose's, Filter, O-rings, seals, screws and clamps.
