This pipe has caused many cosworth 2wd fires.....
A 044 Bosch produces 10 bar and is then regulated to 3.5bar at the reg.
Exactly that Paul I’ve heard plenty of people saying that is the main culprit for fire hence why I want to source the best I can find.
Gates do something called Barricade which seems to be perfect but I can’t seem to find information on whether it is suitable for hose clips, so will look into that when I get time.
