Restoring a vanished fuel line in flight

[Sparker]

I' m delivering a plane to Laythe at the moment and I noticed that an essential fuel line has disappeared. The root end of the fuel line s still at the root part, but the other side of the fuel line doesn't exist. It happenes sometimes when fuel lines are placed in 'hard' places, and when that happenes I usually restsrt the flight, but now it's too late to restart. So is there a way(maybe with mods) to restore it without aborting the mission?

With kas you can attach parts in flight. Not sure if it will work with fuel lines as they have 2 attach points.

If you want to transfer fuel between tanks on the same vessel (or between 2 docked ones) you simply Alt + rightclick both and click in on the one you want fuel in (or out on the other)

Unfortunately KAS doesn't allow to grab standard struts and fuel lines.

Yes, I know about fuel transfer between fuel tanks, but my fuel line connects a fuel tank and an engine.

Well, if there's no solution, I'll send another plane untill it's too late from the launch window.

If you want you can also 'replace' the craft with a functionning one by editing the persistent file of your save

The best way to do what merlinux suggests is to find the craft file for your intact craft and locate the fuel line part. Copy that and paste it into your persistent save at the appropriate place. What matters more than anything else is that the parent part number is correct (and that you don't break syntax). Make a backup of your persistent.

For roleplaying, Jeb got out with his spanner and duct tape roll. Lick o' paint, lick o' paint, good as new.

Thank you for your answers. I tried to find the broken fuel line but failed because the ship had too many parts. Anyway I'll remember this for smalled ships.
