Fuel hoses?

[gaz666]

The hose from fuel pump to engine is high presure injection hose i know, but from the swirl pot to pump is larger bore and looks like standard petrol hose. Am i right, cos i want to replace this piece and need to know.......HELP!!!

yes it is normal fuel pipe only comes under pressure after the pump

I have a vague memory that there was a posting here noting that it's 5/8" ID (?) and that isn't standard size for automotive fuel hose but that it is a standard size in marine applications. But I could be wrong about that (too).

I have had this pipe manufactured for a couple of dealers, what i supplied was 1/2" (13mm) pipe in large quantity, if you get stuck i could probably get an offcut, or try Think Automotive 020 8568 1172

I replaced all the fuel hoses on my car when I rebuilt it, the hose you describe is 5/8" on my car. I purchased the hose from a hose supplier, he indicated (as grady has) that it was more standard as a marine application.

Ooops, I think I may have caused some uncertainty here what I should of noticed BEFORE I added my 2p worth is my car uses a pump for a 280, I assume the 350 pump could well be different!

a word of warning...be careful when removing the old hose,my connector on the fuel pump was corroaded slightly and broke off when the garage tried to change my hose....£200 quid later for a new fuel pump inc fitting

When I replaced mine it was 12mm fuel pipe, took some finding too being an odd size but got some in the end, then brought some overbraid just to be safe!
