Hey guys,
New guy here, and I know this is probably a bit of bad etiquette as intros go.
I own a 2014 GT in sterling grey that has been my baby and daily driver for the last 7 years. I was working on it today during a winter cleanup and I accidently snapped the fitting on the fuel line, Part# Ford BR3Z-9J280-B that connects above the spark plugs on the drivers side. I was being dumb and there was zero forgiveness with the plastic fitting in the cold. Pisses fuel everywhere when starting up now. As annoying as it was to break it just as I was finishing up, I figured this would be a fairly simple parts find and I'd be back on the road in a few days
To my abject horror it seems that this part has not only been discontinued by Ford, but it is also seemingly nowhere to be found anywhere online that I look, and Ford service has no answers in regards to any possible solutions beyond "seek a junk yard for one", which is proving equally daunting so far.
Does anyone know of a place where I can find this part, or have a spare they would be willing to sell? Or if there is an newer part that fits and would work. It's insane to me that a car that is barely 10 years old is seemingly now permanently grounded over a stupid plastic part. Am I stuck getting rid of my baby?
Really hope some of you guys can help. Even if I could just find the stupid black fitting that would be excellent as the line itself is fine.
