Default Fuel pipe

I have a very small leak on a fuel pipe underneath somewhere, it doesn't drip but there is a very strong smell of fuel when i park up. I've been told it's the metal pipe thats rotted away. Where can i get some from or can i just use overbraided fuel pipe?

If you can smell petrol you WILL have a leak.....

Ive seen those pipes many times and they are very sexual, but how have all you others fastened them to the underside of the car? They are considerably bigger than the standard items.

Iv fitted a set to mine and they are . I used some of them clinch nuts to fasten to the underneath and i bought some aluminium hose seperators to hold the pipes in place. Looks good and works a treat

I reckon you could get them cheeper if you went to a fittings company and got them made up yourself!

I got a pump-accumulator braided hose & fittings on the S1 for £9...

the smaller one in this listing, so they charging u an extra £25 (inc postage) for the other hose which is prob only £15 to get yourself
