Hello all , so I'm in the middle of replacing the fuel tank sending unit on an 06 Rainer (v8) . While taking the lines off i broke some of the clips and some were missing and repaired with a zip tie .... and while putting the fuel return line back on the sending unit the o rings tore and the clip broke. The local parts store can't get the o rings or the clips. Are there any other options for getting them besides the dealer which I haven't gone to yet ?
Hate it when a simple repair turns into a 3 day fiasco . Thanks in advance

Might not have a choice to go to the stealership. The seals they probably have but the clips might come with the complete fitting or line. Another option for the clips would be to go to a pick a part yard.

I was able to pick up the clips from Napa. They are a dorman part. Sorry but I don't remember the product number

SON OF A B*&^)( I couldn't find any of these items when I broke my stuff on my fuel lines. Took me an extra week to get a replacement line in from rockauto just for that little black clip.
