Basically, a sleeve is a protective layer. It slides over something else – usually a fuel line, or sometimes a part of the fuel rail – to prevent rubbing, chafing, or corrosion. Think of it like a little bodyguard for those lines and parts. It’s usually made of rubber or plastic, something durable but flexible. It's part of the fuel supply system, naturally. It doesn't move the fuel, it just keeps things safe. You’ll find them where fuel lines pass close to the body of the car, or near other metal parts. They prevent vibrations from wearing through the line, and protect against damage from road debris. Sometimes they act like a shield against heat too, keeping things from getting too hot. Well, fuel lines obviously carry fuel. If a line gets rubbed through or corroded, you're gonna have a fuel leak. That’s a fire hazard, plain and simple. You’ll notice if a line is failing because you’ll smell fuel, or maybe see a wet spot under the car. Replacing a sleeve is a small job that can save you a lot of trouble, and it’s way cheaper than dealing with a fuel leak or engine damage. You can find a bunch of different sizes and types on sites like Fixparts Online. It's always best to replace them when you’re already working on the fuel system, like when you’re changing the fuel filter or fuel pump, just as a preventative measure.
