Does anyone know if those nylon fuel line pipes that goes from the tank to the steel pipe (return) and from the pump to the steel pipe are still available at Ford?

 

pm Sapph1 mate,he might know mate

 

I was told they werent by my local dealer but that doesnt mean to say any of the dealers in the UK dont have some lying around in their store room somewhere.

 

Cheers mate, will send him a PM then

 

According to Microcat I see that the pipe between the tank and steel pipe is only sold by running metres but is has a lot of twists and bends so I thought it was one single part number on this. The pipe that goes from the pump has a finis code (1638300) and is not sold by running metres. I've also seen that the nylon pipes and steel pipes is connected with a special plastic thing so I guess it must still be that way.

If the pipes are not available anymore, is there possible to get hold of braided 8mm fuel hoses? I want 8mm so I don't need to change all the fuel clips.

 

Was at Ford today but no change in hell getting those pipes, empty everywhere. So I guess I must think off another way to sort this problem then.

So...anyone got ideas? Would be much appreciated

 

Hi you could brace some steel -6 fittings to the steel fuel line and then use some goodridge hose and fittings !

 

i had the same problem mate, ive ended up using aeroquip hose! looks good but isnt cheap

 

I was thinking of braided hoses myself but the smallest size you get here is 11 or 12mm OD and then they wouldn't fit in the original fuel/brake clips. I've seen that you can buy 8mm nylon pipes but is there possible to bend and shape them just like the originals? Any special tool or technic?

 

i got the one from the tank to the pump from ford last month Ł4.50 bargin

 

Sorry, I meant the nylon pipe that goes from the filter to the steel pipe, not from the pump. But does anyone know what kind of connectors I can use between the steel pipe and hose on the pressure side?
