My best fridge yet
My Dodge's 32 year old fuel line about 6 mile's from home finally showed it's age
after I washed the under carriage. The rust was sealing (or holding together) the integrity
Little hole's were all over the fuel line after the wash .
Naturally I was driving along & sputter sputter OFF .
I figured fast enough , so I got some hose & clamps. Then I used the copper Piping
from the scrap Fridge in the pickup bed to repair section's of lines .
Makes one realize how the stuff we scrap with such unthinking - Money - Money - get the money mindlessness
are life saving components .

That's awesome
Solving a problem with what you got. The ranger is 14 years old and has a lot of bolts, clamps and sheet metal from the scrap pile attached.
I used to save a lot of parts and hardware for myself but I now have more than I'll ever need so it all gets scrapped. except for the big stuff a gravel pit by me run by old farmers buy up all my big bolts and good pieces of plate or angle iron.
I have two 16 ft 1\4in angle iron that I gotta talk to them about the best part is they're about 4 miles away opposed to the yard which is 45

Congratulations MacGyver ? Many talk about selling for more than scrap value, seldom do we see posts reusing scrap for personal gain. Most of the time I make scrap metal art or build trailers from scrap, but love the idea of a fuel line.

Additional interest - - The section's that were shot were two 9 inch long rusted steel line's
I cut back the rubber hose a bit both sides & used the copper pipe as a complete fix .
I guess what I'm getting at is this copper pipe is superior to the original steel pipe ( I think) it wont rust
& it even had a bend that worked like original .
When I think of all the smallish piping I had over the years
for sure more value then CU scrap by the pound.
I scrap enough junk copper I will start saving some of them pipes
