Hi all
Im looking to get some stainless steel braided fuel lines going from the fuel tank under the car to the engine bay....Just wondering what size diameter fuel line i would need for my series 1? I wouldnt think i need more than 3.00m?? only running about 200bhp and standard fuel pumps..

Ive seen some braided fuel lines with rubber lining on the inside, and was told this was the best line to use....any help mch appreciated!!

cheers

ptfe lined is usual, im sure I used -6 on mine from pump to engine and back again. Getting the fittings wasnt too much of a problem but the return to the fuel tank was a bit of a bodge.

i bought a full car set of him for my s1. spot on they are..all just click together, so no mucking about with having to put ends on etc.. probably a bit more expense thgan making your own but for me it was it not having any hassle at all

well i can knock out the hose at 3quid a metre, so feel free to do the maths, based on the fact that goodridge stuff rough rrp is circa 10quid per metre
