going to fit braided fuel hose from tank to fuel rail just wondering on best way to fix to bottom of the car without having to drill massive holes in floor

 

Chewing gum ?

 

No more nails ? ?

Will look under Shonky Ver 2.0 tomorrow and see how Trev secured the supply and return(Both are -6).

 

Gaffa tape?

 

wont be till the end of september when the saff comes off the road for the winter just wonbered what other people had done

need to get a second hand fuel rail to get a dash fitting welded to the end of it

 

cheers cake man

 

Did this last year, i just drilled tiny holes and used self tapping screws and siliconed round the hole from the inside when i lifted the carpet up, best way i could find TBH. i did attempt to fix the aeroquip hoses to the original fuel pipe mounts under the car but it looked untidy and there wasn't enough of them to hold it up safely.
If i were to do it again i'd suggest the following, definiately use the telfon lined hose, EVEN IF YOUR RUNNING IT OUTSIDE THE CAR. I used non teflon lined as I was told this was ok for outside use and PTFE lined was reccomended for inside, but if your sitting in traffic, even with the hoses outside the car following the original route, it fcuking stinks! Ok if your driving normally though.
Also, i'd reccomend buying the correct fuel rail (Reyland/A1/etc) which has been machined with the fitting on it, don't mod an old one, thats what i did and then i read about peoples cars going on fire because they have leaked, so spend the extra £££ on doing it right 1st time.Apparently the fitting needs to be braised on, and even then it can still go porous and leak fuel, be warned. My car i off the road but when/if I ever take it out again I'll order a new rail thats up to the job, that way you can drive down the road without havng that worrying feeling in the back of your mind that it could go up in smoke at any given moment.

 

I've got a fuel rail if you're interested lee?

 

velcro

 

Rog the i have had an upgraded fuel rail fail on me so will use a standard one with the - fittings braised on.

 

I just used the right size seperators and self taper in the centre into the floor pan.

what happened ?

 

I'd also like to know, pm if u want.

 

Mine was a Carwise rail but tbh there all the same if you look at them. They dont have any clips to hold the injectors in and just use the mounting claps to keep the injectors situated, mine pushed an injector O ring out and sprayed fuel everywhere. The newer ones might have ironed out these problems but i am sure Rod Birley had problems with his upgraded Fuel rail at the start of this season.

I went to a standard item and never had a problem since. Ahmed also said to me the standard one is more than up to the job, that was enough for me to stick with it. I will be being having mine braised for - fittings.

 

Cool, thanks for sharing that, if i do buy an aftermarket rail i'll be sure to check for the injector clip part, that sounds really dodgy just having them push fitted into the rail. Currently I'm running a std rail with braised on fittings front and back.

 

P Clips.

 

nice 1 cheers mate hows your saff coming on

 

Not bad mate, slowly getting bits together, the engine's ready to go in, converting to centre push hydraulic clutch though so need to mount the clutch master first. Let me know when you want that rail mate.

 

nice 1 cheers mate might pop over and see you 1 night this week cos im off for 2weeks

 

Ok mate, no bother.
