Pluging Fuel Line while working on motor

[340inabbody]

Guys I have silicone rubber plugs will that be ok to plug my fuel line in my bay for a few months? Not sure if that material will breakdown fast. Don’t want a floor full of fuel one day.

If not what do you guys do/use?

Thanks,
Ron

Don't think I'd trust it with fuel.
Easy way to plug the fuel line is to stick a piece of fuel hose on it, shove a 5/16 (or whatever size your line is) bolt in the end and hose clamp it.

i have a few bolts with the threads turned down that jam into the hose snug up with hose clamps.

if you have a fitting on it you can just use a plug.

realistically, you shouldn't have any more fuel than what's in your carb and pump/lines from the rail up. so not a tremendous amount to sop up proactively.

Main supply as I am removing my carb.

Ok Il use some line and a bolt and clamp on each side. Sounds like a more robust solution.
