just got mine delivered this morning, 5 metres of the stuff to do both runs on the cabby, its the ptfe stuff and is stainless steel , but there is a question of if i can run it under the car or not?, is it MOT safe? also anyone know any good websites i can get some connectors from,
aint got a clue about stuff like this
cheers mark.

Ginge !

depends on the person who interprets the MOT

if its secure then its fine from what everyone has found out

but technically its a fail as if a clip breaks the fuel pipe will hang down and may get caught

so if you secure it every 4 inch or so then its ok? also what can i use to secure it?

Ginge !

proper metal P clips, not cable ties

why you feel the need for it i dont know though

if its on a mk4 escort which looking at your sig it is, you can use the original plastic clips under the car (the ones that carried the old fuel llines and also the brake lines), thats if they are in good condition and not gone brittle. New ones can be had from ford if you can get a parts man to get the right ones. Then where the fuel line goes around the fuel tank and towards the fuel pump carrier you can use flange clips (I got some from RS) of the required size (measure your OD of the pipe then get clips to suit that size and 3mm flange thickness). makes a nice neat job and should pass the MOT, mine did. As for the fuel fixings, take pictures of your old ones (fuel pump end and fuel accumulator end) with measurements as best you can and send them to bsr aerotek, cant find an email address on their site so prob best to ring them first http://www.bsr-aerotek.com/store/contact_us.php they sorted mine out and they are cock on. Cant find receipts at moment but their not a strange part, just regular bango fittings and olives. Hope that helps.

yes mate it does, i know the clips your on about, when i started taking the pipes down they just broke apart in my hands, got some nice new ones to go back on it though , cheers for all your help!
