Default fuel pipe help...

Gents,

After a bit of advice.

Trying to locate a red fuel pipe from fuel filter (exit side) into metering unit as damaged mine and need a new one.

I'm having a bit of trouble locating one...so two questions,

1) Where can I find one!?

2) What are the alternatives if I can't locate one?

Thanks in advance.

I had there replacement pipe.. rubber fuel pipe, 10 Bar rated.. worked fine.


Just be careful and choose strong pipe, as there is around 6 bar fuel pressure, so weak fuel pipe can look a bit like baloon when you turn off engine

Thanks All...

Decided to have a search around for a local specialist (bham) and hand it in to them to have pipe fitted/made up including washers/bolts etc.

Can anybody recommend anyone? I'm in Sutton...north on Bham, dont mind say a 30min trip...
