Trying to find out the outer diameter, and the length of the fuel supply hose that runs from the fuel tank to the fuel filter.

I am guessing its prob about 6-7 inches, but need someone to tell me if poss.....

Thanks in advance

Michael
PS.....Inner Diameter would be great too if poss, but not essential.

 

if only you would have asked at the weekend ive just put mine back on while it was rolled over its back on the floor now though always the same when you wanna know something

I'd say its at least 8 or 9 feet. The diameter of the fuel pipe is very small,around 5 mm.Regards Micky

 

8 or 9 feet ?? I didnt even think the whole car was 9 feet long !

Think u got the wrong idea mate, its the short hose that runs from the fuel filter to the fuel tank.

7/8/9 inches would have been my guess too, but was hoping someone could confirm.

Thanks

Michael

 

is this the under bonnet pipe?

plastic one or metal???

I may have just the thing for you my friend

 

Shitballs.....theres nothing like making a cock of myself.....

Ok i have mistyped....what i am needing is the length of the hose from the fuel tank to the fuel PUMP d'oh !!


Very short section underneath the car.

Sorry guys my mistake.

 

ok

Next question then cos this matters.....is it series 1 or series 2?

And just to clarify your talking about the rubber pipe, which is hoseclipped on to the tank and fuel pump inlet?

 

Thats the one bud !

And its a Series 1

 

thats a shame had it of been the plastic one under the bonnet ive got a BRAND NEW ONE SAT HERE STARING AT ME lol

have to put that bad boy on eBay

right ill see if ive got a spare one, just changed the pump on mine and it had a hose on it, so i think ive still got the old one.

Im certain the internal diameter is 18/19mm, the external should really matter, just makes sure the hose clips fit over, and surely you will have to buy a length of hose anyway so u can cut it down to size?

Are you changing yours or something?

 

Good man MichaelG,I knew I wasnt that confused!!!! Did you try FORD for the pipe that connects the tank to the pump???? Or you could always take the pump to a place that sell's hydrolic hose and by a foot of hose that fits the pump outlet.These place's normally sell hose suitable for petrol as well as hydrolic hose.Regards Micky

 

I had the chance to buy a length of proper braided fuel line, with proper ends etc......7 inches long.....didnt know if it was long enough. But the Inner diameter was a lot less than 18mm so its no use anyways

Thanks for all the help guys !!
