engine bay uprated fuel hose kits?

[Jcerb]

As above the 2 that run from the bulkhead under the expansion tank to the fuel rail and to the front of engine, wondering if there are any steel braided hoses you can buy with connectors already crimped on?, have looked but no luck?? Thankyou

I got a set of braided hoses with crimped connectors from TVR Power last winter.

Was this a 'special' as I can't find any details on their web site??

I just phoned the stores department and asked if they had Cerbera fuel hoses in stock. It seemed to be a stock item and when they arriver they were braided ones.

Ta. Will have to give them a shout then.

Phoned today, and they said tell them the length and send them off to them, they send them out of house to another company.

Unless you have a specific chaffing issue (matron!) then I would advise against stainless braid.

They are just as likely to fail internally from heat and fuel damage only you won't see the damage worsening e.g. cracking outer.

Better to just get proper Nitrile lined hose and route away from other moving components.

That does make sense on the braiding i see thats a good point!

The heat shielding on the coolant hoses hides a multitude of sins too, admittedly the consequences of a fuel hose failure are far more serious.

I didn't specifically request braided hoses from TVR Power. It was just what they supplied (bearing in mind this was a year ago)
