Replacing Copper Fuel Lines
Discussion
I cut the copper back to the near side beside the gearbox/rear of engine (but away from the exhaust) then ran suitable rubber pipe from there to the fuel rail as normal.
I also fabricated a new support over the gearbox to minimise chafing (no one likes chafing!)
My plan is that is is a lot simpler to check/replace the rubber hose in the future as part of the regular servicing.

I too just took out all my old copper brake and fuel pipes today, and was wondering the same thing. I don't want the fuel pipe route to go over the gearbox again. Not the best of places to put it.
Does it matter how long the copper length/route is, as far as pressure goes?
I want it to go over to nearside after the filter and then straight to engine bay, instead of offside and then cross over bellhousing!Does it matter how long the copper length/route is, as far as pressure goes?
