Hello all

I would like it if anybody who has the above could put some pics up please. The reason i ask is that ive bought some braided fuel hose to put on instead of the existing standard black ones. I dont want the one circled below ( vacuum i think????) to look crap though as it has a 90 degree bend in it and the braided hose ive bought is quite rigid. Im curious as to how yours may be secured to the rail or anything else come to think of it and how you may have got round the rigidity of the braided hose where it has to have the bend in it.

im also looking for some blue or chrome finishers for the hose...any ideas where from and how much?????

thanks
Martin

yes it is, how does yours go on where ive placed the circle? does it have a bend in it or is it straight?

martin - i cant work out which bit you mean in the circled bit???

aeroquip dont do the job no better imo fuel line is fuel line..

correct me if im wrong but how are you suppose to connect aeroquip to the fuel rail?? dont that stuff have to have fixings pressed on the ends?
the esc cos fuel rail- dont the fuel line push over the end with a clip securing it??

the fuel rail needs modding for aeroquip fittings

thought so...

so thats how its done...

By either buying a zoo/carwise fuel rail with JIC ends on it or getting JIC fitting welded on to your fuel rail.
For the people that have JIC rails and quip how have you attached the hose at the other end to the original fuel pipes under the car. I know that some people run new lines all the way back to the pump but i was just looking to tidy up the bay, so would it be possible just to push the hose over the original pipe and clip it.

thanks for the responses guys.....i cant afford aeroquip because i know if i buy one bit i'll do the whole bloody lot!!!

L3 COS.....its the pipe that goes onto the rail at the back near the bulkhead on mine its got a purposeful bend shaped into it. Im sure this pipe is vacuum....i will take a better pic this weekend so you can see what i mean.


thanks again guys....much appreciated

theres only 2 pipes on the fuel rail, flow and return, and the tiny vacuum pipe that fits on the f/p/reg at the front

MY escos had both fuel lines (flow and return) with those bends . Mates Saff has them too

I braised JIC fittings to my fuel rails mate. It does the same jos as normal fuel hose just looks alot better.
Get searchin ebay for job lots of -6 aeroquip. It always comes in handy

good point - is it worth running new fuel lines as some are getting quite scabby now and i know are unavailable from ford anymore - would make sense to run complete new fuel lines straight from the pump IMO.. and while your at it re wire the fuel pump with new wiring using the original to feed the new relay switching the heavy gauge feed

With thanks to Pewters heres what im on about.....hope you all now know what i mean about the bend in the pipe and how i might get round this with the quite rigid braided stuff!!!!!
