hi guys
small problem
found out that my fuel line under the car is leaking
found a small hole in it
what is the best way to fix it ?
any suggestions
thanks
A 10 cm length of 8mm fuel/ Oil resistant rubber hose and 4 jubilee/ hose clips, cut the metal pipe and rejoin with the rubber hose using 2 clips at each end .
This is for a temporary fix, however the best way would be to renew the whole section properly.
yes same thoughts like mine
where can i get new lines or used lines to replace everything
Truck air line connectors, used these heaps of times to repair fuel lines, get 1 the right size, cut the pipe on the hole, take all the sharp edges off the metal pipes and slide the pipe into each end of it, job done. 1 of these things http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4mm-16mm-Push-Fit-Nylon-Tube-Hose-Straight-Connector-Joiner-Air-Line-Truck-Lorry-/320920707522?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item4ab85d61c2
still don\'t know how that should work
never seen such one bevor
but looks great
Wolfie pushfits are great we use them all the time but for a fuel line I\'d give them a wide berth, there are no second chances with fuel! Some of them use a low grade rubber in the seal and its exposure to fuel over a extended period would be dubious at best. If a joiner is used then I\'d suggest at the very least a nut and olive compression fitting so there are no degradation issues being brass.
We\'ve all been there with temp fixed that have a habit of becoming semi permanent until they fail again and have to be redone.
Any commercial parts supplier or most car suppliers will be able to obtain a roll of kunifer there\'s plenty on ebay also IMO do it once and right then you can forget about it.
Ok
Thanks Guys for The informations
Can someone tell me the wall thickness
Of the fuel line?
