You dont want to glue it. Fuel being petroleum will disolve pretty much any glue or adhesive. Best bet is to go down to the auto parts store or hardware store and get a piece of the same size and length fuel line and replace it.

SOURCE: Repairing a hole in the oil pan

The problem with welding on the car is that you will NEVER get it clean enough and weld will not hold. Remove pan and clean it, THEN weld it. I usually screw it down to a piece of 3/4" plywood so that it does not warp while welding...also use a wet rag to cool area near weld as you work (at least 3-4 inches from work area)

SOURCE: I have a small hole in the transfer case of my 04

It may solve the problem if you could get it to cure properly, unless you can completely remove all the oil from the case and clean the surounding surface the epoxy wont set properly on an oily surface, If you look around (home depot) you may be able to find the epoxy that has a consistency of silly putty that may work.

You can try but it would be better if you can get someone to fix it with a weld if your trying to save some money. The other thing to is if you can find one at a salvage yard, if not there are many aftermarket headers for your 2.8 liter engine. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted, be glad to answer any more questions you may have.

SOURCE: I got a small hole in one of the rubber return fuel lines

On a return hose, your idea is fine. Use clamps made for fuel systems as they don't bite into the rubber. I suggest that you place the tightening screws 180 degrees opposite each other using two at each end.What you use to join the hose is optional. You can put a very slight flair at each end of a short steel line or use a brass coupler with barbs (better).

What kind of glue can I use to glue two pieces of acrylic together

Usually a solvent-based glue like weld-on 4 works best for acrylics. It chemically welds the 2 pieces together

How to fix the aluminium cracked connector to the engine and clutch hydraulic pipe hose for ford focus 1.8 petrol s reg

If it's broke completely off, try and JB Weld it. JB Weld comes in a tube with a separate hardener tube. Mix a batch together and apply as per directions. It's pretty sturdy stuff.
If it's just cracked, maybe a machine shop could patch it back together. Otherwise, you may need extreme help...;

Leak

if you can empty the coolant you can try to use high tech epoxy glues which can resist high temperatures of engine block. you can try JB weld or thermosteel.

whatever you use first of all you need to strip the dirst or paint or rust on surface with a metal brush or dremel tool then you need to mix glue components together well and apply it to surface slowly.

Bad gas milage/ moderate low power, suddenly misfiring 3 cylinder

Just start with the cam position sensor - jb weld definately would not work for very long in that heat.

REplace with new - you should be all set. The computer uses the cam's position to time the spark and fuel delivery.

I snapped the side door mirror off. wireing is fine but bracket

The correct way would be to replace the unit, but there are many expoxies or two part glues that might get you by. Try JB weld, as I have found it to be the best. Use plenty of it. I am assuming that you do not want to spend the money to get this repaired correctly, and this is the only reason I would suggest JB-Weld, or another epoxy.
