Fuel pipe rubber

[whizz371]

Morning all.
Just checking over my new purchase. I have spotted that the flow and return rubber fuel pipes are looking a bit poorly. Whilst they are a plain end with a lip to flow and return stainless pipe the other end appears to have a plastic push clip. So I am assuming this has to be an OEM purchase rather than replacing with std rubber fuel line.

Good morning I built my own fuel lines most parts are available online or you can go oem but the price is quite high if I remember correctly. The pipe just connects to the plastic part which is removable.

Brill thanks very much, can sort that. Presume you just cut the pipe away from the OEM fittings. Any idea what spec and size of pipe I need please.

Having had a look on line it appears that some people think that 8mm internal fuel hose is slightly too large. I have found some decent R9 which has an internal dia of 7.6mm. Any one had this issue ? Or has used 7.6 or 8mm hose please. Presume take out fuel pump fuse and turn engine over to release fuel pressure. before starting?

I used the mocal 8.64mm internal diameter with no problems to date! Ignition off fuse out for safety then just a rag when removing the connection to avoid and spillages.

Many thanks, I will order some. I think Quality fuel clips are also a plus in preventing leaks.

Get some good quality stainless steel ones also look good if exposed or you can get the alloy covers and clamps from ebay.
