seems like every time i jack the car up i notice something else that needs replaced..

need to replace the fuel lines, whats the best thing to replace them with?

standard ones? plain old copper pipes?
braided ones?

dont want to mess around too much and change the fuel pressure etc

what ahave all you peeps done?

why you'll need a replacement? Are they leaking?

 

off topic.

what the max bhp with standard lines??

are they fine at 500 bhp??

 

Buy some standard rigid metal fuel pipe and a flaring tool and make them yourself mate. Don't bother with braided as it will stink your garage out.

 

How's that then Jules?

PTFE lined braided doesn't let any fumes out........

 

changing the lines will not affect the pressure at the fuel rail - the regulator takes care of that. it can affect the pressure at the pump if they are too narrow though, which has many negatives

 

they are leaking/weeping..


so if i fit any old pipe just make sure they are not narrower than the old ones?

 

i might be a good idea to make sure that they can easily withstand a pressure of more than 5 bar (well the one from pump to fuel rail at least, the return is not critical)

 

...i replaced mine with -6 braided external.
