I have a short wheel base 1993 Dakota 4x4 and both my pressure and return steel fuel lines are leaking right after where the plastic lines leading from the tank are attached to the steel lines. I contacted my Dodge dealer today and they told me that I would have to buy the entire "fuel line bundle" for 131.00. Then they checked the computer and told me that it isn't available. Anyone come across this before and if so, where did you get your lines? Any backyard fix ideas are also appreciated. Thank you.

I had the same problem. Your posting has been up there for a while, so I don't know if this information will be of any use to you at this point in time, but here goes anyway:
The price sounds correct. Call your local Dodge dealership with your VIN number, and (just to be safe) the distance from wheel center to wheel center. If your local dealer won't help you, call Dodgeland Dodge at 1-414-427-2220 with the info.
You could order on line at ewaldauto.com
That bundle is a little pricey, but it sure is nice to have the right part to bolt in and not have to worry about cobbling a potential failure.

Hi Nick, I was surprised that I finally had a response to my question. What happened is the only fuel line bundle that could be found was one from the longest wheelbase Dakota made. Only 1 was found in the country and it had to come from Arizona. I bought it for 131.00 and cut 18 inches out of the middle to match the rusted bundle. I used compression unions to re-attach the halves back together and it has been working ever since April of 2003. My Dodge dealer told me "that won't work because of the high pressure fuel line". I asked what was the pressure and it turned out to only be 60 psi. Heck, I use unions on stock car braking systems with no failures.
