If anyone can help?! https://passionford.com/forum/showth...33#post3894733

Thanks!

 

I gave mine away last week

 

No way! Typical lol

 

You want original ford only?

I got a braided one from that guy off ebay for about £15-20, sorted me out with new banjos and washers free too...

i have one but it has a kink in it

 

Nice looking hoses!

Cheers but need one without the kink if poss!

 

just use a rubber-hose and 2 clips will do the same job.....

 

Rubber hose for FUEL!!!
I'm fairly sure it's got to be a specific type of hose otherwise the petrol will break it down

 

Rubber hose no good, the fuel pressure will burst the pipe or blow it off, i had to do a temp repair when i ripped my fuel pump off on a gutter and broke the plastic pipe, blew the rubber hose i used to repair it in half

 

Thats also a good point! IIRC there is 6 bar of pressure in that hose!!

 

if u go to any specialist hose supplier, they will sell u fuel hose by the meter, and fuel hose is available in rubber form, it just has a different lining thats all. of course if u use any old piece of rubber hose its likely to pop, but the right rubber hose is easily capable, even at 6 bar+

lets not also forget that the hose from the fuel tank to the fuel pump on an rs turbo is pretty low quality rubber lol. ok the pressure is low at that point, but it doesnt perish and fall to bits from fuel passing through....

 

ive was informed to get sum hydrolic hose from an hydrolics surplier because it has metal meshing built into it
an it is alot stronger underpressure than standard fuel hoses
jus have to go in an specify what ure using the hose for an they will provide the rite rubber an piping for the job
not tried it out yet mind, but the hose he showed me was almost impossible to bend let alone burst

 

unless it is spec'd for fuel useage too, dnt just use any hydraulic hose, as it is not liner'd suitably

and yeh it is possible to get hydraulic hose that does 20bar+ before going bang, but thats a tad excessive as even if u did manage to bend it round to the fuel filter, it wud tear the filter clean off the inner wing wen it bends itself back

few names of hose supplier chains in the midlands that iv used are IMM, pirtek, james listers. all these will sort u out with something suitable, plus any fittings u might need, and maybe swaging if thats the sort of fitting u go for

 

You could just take yours with the kink to a hose place and they will make a braided one up for you, i had all my brake lines done, only £10 each and two of them had the banjos fitted also

 

yeah as above, and i bet as its so short, they could probs knock it up out of an offcut anyways, so bound to be cheap

 

just got to ford they still sell them about 20 pounds or look on the bay lol

 

Cheers Fella's good idea!

 

Just seen this after speaking to you via PM.....
If Ford still sell them for £20 why did you PM me with a link to your ebay shop where you sell them for £31?!

 

lol, classic 'caught ya' moment!

 

edit

is it defo fuel filter and back to the metering unit hose u need, cos for some reason i convinced myself the pic was of the hose from metering unit to filter, and now im confused lol

if its from the bottom of the filter to the metering unit, ford still do them, £14.34+ VAT

 

yes thats what i ment sorry.....lol

I have just done it to my own and it runs fine.....

 

lol yeah!

Yep it's the bottom hose from Filter to Metering Unit!

£14.34+ VAT!!! Thats a bit better than £31!! Nothing like trying to 'help' a fellow forum member

 

if u do decide to go ford and buy it new, and u have problems with availability, gimme a shout and i will try through my mate, he was the 1 who found that for me a couple months back, n sorts out decent prices n the delivery for next to nothing extra

 

Thanks very much RSandy appreciate it!
