Quality fuel line is available from ebay and all spares shops for around £4 to £6 per meter.

I use it for all my vac and boost pipes. 1/3 the price of silicone and more durable.

 

And as it happens, these have just arrived for relocating my DV to the cold side.

 

Cool! My only concern is the oem clips on the end of the pipe? Is there a solution for this?

 

These are zinc plated but also come in stainless

Thanks I meant these clips in particular I think they need to be on the hose? Unless someone has figured out another way

 

Looking them you can remove and reuse them if they are ok.

 

here's a used one

this is a 8L9133986B which was superseded by 8L9133986C
not sure what the difference is but for that price it might be worth it

alternatively here's a list of connectors/kits

Thanks, I'm not looking to buy a second hand one I was hoping someone has installed their own version using brand new lines and connectors, with a list of parts they used lol

 

fair enough, I've added the link for the connectors just a few minutes ago. as far as I know they're 5/16 on the fuel rail side

 

Aren't these the quick-release connectors for the fuel filter? As the filter has a bead around it, I'd imagine you'd need to make sure that the inner diameter of the pipe is a good fit over that bead, and a decent hose clip inboard of it. But I haven't tried it personally.

 

I have, bit of a crap photo but exactly as everyone has said, be careful where you buy hose from, eBay can be full of crap, I'd refrain from using fuel hose for vac lines, I've never found any that's lasted properly, I replaced it as these fuel hoses are old now and if I was on track I didn't want to have the car go up in flames, plus the old hose was showing signs of deterioration.

 

Ah thanks yes I can see new lines there, I know there is a load of crap out there, there are specific hoses that allow ethanol through which are better, did you reuse the plastic clips from your old hoses ?

 

If you buy fuel hose make sure it's R9 rated and from a reputable source .
The R9 rating will ensure that it will withstand the ethanol found in today's unleaded .
I was looking at a piece of unbranded cloth-braided fuel hose the other day that had only been on a car for 12 years , and less than 1000 miles in that time .
The ethanol had caused the rubber to swell so not only was the hose bulging , it also caused it to collapse internally .
Stick to a known brand from a reputable supplier .

The quick release connectors I did yes, new jubilee clips though.

 

I reused the clips off the old fuel line and made up some new lines using Mocal braided fuel line. Very high quality black nylon braided outer with steel reinforcing and a neoprene inner.

Does anyone know the ID and OD of the hoses? And 1 meter should suffice?

Nice! Is that the exact part that I need? That you used? Also have you relocated the fuel filter!?

I've seen a few people recommend this product:

https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/hi ... -2240-0600

They only have 7.5 or 9.3mm ?

 

I relocated the filter because I fitted a Bosch 044 fuel pump in line to meet the flow requirements for 500bhp +.

 

Oh nice! I'm no where near that kind of power lol do you know if the 7.5mm hose is the right one?

 

Anyone?

 

I can't remember off the top of my head but measure the connection on the fuel rail will be easiest.

 

can anyone confirm the diameter of the fuel line needed for the rail? Mine are looking a bit perished and would like to replace them.

 

8mm id, just done mine again. I replaced with some i had in the garage and it lasted 12 month, must have been a few year old.
Got some decent stuff on now.

 

Read the thread in my signature (fuel hoses renewal etc) for all your fuel hose needs [smiley=book2.gif] . Anyone remember the old days in the forums when we used to say search before you post etc :roll:

Cohline-2192 (googled it in UK shops too), a very soft and supple hose, 7.5x13mm is the correct size, 1 metre is enough for the job.
