Quick 'how to' replace fuel lines

[willg54]

Getting round to ordering the materials now the engine is out.

Going to get 2 x 7.5m cupronickel 8mm od pipe but im unsure on the connectors. I have read the thread and found the best place to get them from but im just not sure how many.

Im going to be replacing the entire lines so obviously i wont be needing them for the bulkhead interface like alot of people do. Where and what connectors am i going to need??

Thanks

Will

fuel lines

....... and error404, where did you source those rubber mounts for the fuel filter?

[Error404]

POR15, then 3M body sealer, then Dinitrol 3125, then Dinitrol 4941 mate

Is that a hammerite or POR15 coating on the underside of the car?

[Error404]

mine are better and i did that on the floor with axle stands
Took fooking hours though TBH, and i'm a bit OCD about this kid of stuff

Good call with the grease Alex. (There is some brilliant Bilt Hamber stuff you can get....)

He has,nt done this before and was,nt that keen until he realised he did,nt have to go up into the engine. After i,d printed some pic,s off the forum to show him, he understood what i was on about! Thanks for the tips, and thankgod for this forum!!!!

Yup i can confirm those clips are a **** to get back on, i only had 2 out of 3 lines to get in when i did mine as i deleted the carbon cannister circuit at the same time, can't even imagine how much rage i would have got myself into if i had all 3 to squeeze back in

Just make sure he cleans all the rust and skank out of the rubbers before reusing them, also some grease will prolong the life of the lines

Make sure you fit the clamps to the fuel lines before you finally connect the last end! I didn't do this and they were a nightmare to clip back up again.

(Anyone that has previously installed fuel lines will know this anyway. It was my first time....)

Cheers,

Steve.
