The fittings are in such bad shape I'm not sure I want to re-use them.
I like that fuel repair kit. Hoping that PB blaster is doing some work tonight. I'm going to give it one more go tomorrow. I don't have a vice grip on hand, wish I did.
I'd really be up a **** creek if the fuel line twisted or broke. Long term solution to me is to replace the whole line.

I use compression fittings everyday at work, I would say that 3 out of every 10 installed leak and have to be replaced right away. However this is under more pressure than your fuel system.

Success guys!
Fuel pump is no longer buzzing.
I couldn't blow any air thru the filter no matter how hard I tried. I also put water thru it and nothing came out the other end. My fuel pump must have been trying to pump thru a brick wall. I can only hope it really didn't shorten the lifespan of the pump.
