Anyone know how to seperate the high pressure fuel line from the regulator to the hard piping that runs along the floor pan??

I need it all off and don't wanna break anything

also the hard plastic piping that fixes into the inlet, it's seems like it's moulded on there.

 

The rigid pipe is moulded on, only way is to cut it off.

How would I replace/re-mould it then? could I not use the old one?

thanks

 

The only way I could see you re-using the old bit would be to apply enough heat to soften when removing putting back on, not worth the hassle imo, as pressure goes 10 bar is peanuts, will easily seal with a juby clip or similar.

they are removable, there is a special double prong tool to get them off the metal pipe, the prongs slide down into the body and release the clip

 

like these:

I bought a set of these from our toolman.
Pretty cheap and come in handy too.
You could try and make soemthing yourself - it only needs to push the spring back enough to pull the pipe out.

Thems the ones I got but not sure how to use them

The lines and the fuel rail are lying under the car all connected.

Can any one give me any tips please or talk me through it??

 

Yeah them

 

They aren't the proper tool, although they may work. I borrowed the proper one from work and have now managed to source one. It cost me around Ł25. I tried heating mine as Tabetha mentions but it didn't work for me. Mike are you in Cornwall?

 

Did my reply get totally ignored then?

The set cost me less than a tenner and has been used by various people to remove their fuel rails from the fuel lines.

He wants to remove the fue pressure reg from the line though, your tool removes the inlet side.

Don't see why he can't jsut either unbolt the reg from the rail if its 4x4 or just un jubilee clip the reg if its a 2wd and leave the moulded fuel pipe on it?

 

No mate I'm way up North in Washington Tyne and Wear

 

Sorry mate thought I did reply

I've had a quick look and it is a plastic collar, did'nt want to pull and twist in case I snapped it

 

As it stands all the fuel lines are on the garage floor under the car connected to the fuel rail (it is 4x4)

I need it all stripped down to polish the rail up as I'm buftying the whole car

I could live with a jubilee clip on the regulator and inlet if I have to cut them off but my main problem is seperating the flexy high pressure fuel line from the hard fule pipes that run under the floor pans

 

Mike as an exiled Geordie, I can post you both my tools that will do the job your after as long as you post them back to me mate before the end of August!
If you pm me your address I'll post them on Thursday so should be with you for the weekend.

 

PM sent

 

ok mate, i'll post tomorrow
