Fuel pipe - tank to swirl pot

[Convert]

Does anyone know what size this pipe is please? I've been removing the prop, and noticed a drip coming from it (i'll tighten the clamp first and see if it stops)

If the pipe looks a bit suspect don't mess about change it!

Fuel and brake pipes are the main things on a wedge (Or any car) which you should not be messed with, replace if suspect its the cheapest way in the end!

Cheers Andy, I don't suppose you know what the internal diameter is do you?

I am not certain of the size, I properly have some in my spares, but trying to find it!

I think when I get on my feet I will have to do a rebuild of another Wedge and make a note of all these sizes/items so it can be posted up for information!

Hi Mate...Sometimes tightening hoses can be detremental as if they are split you will just make it worst, I think the pipe is quite big that goes to the swirlpot from tank.. 1"ID..(25mm)...cheers..Ziga

Steve i'm hopefully getting the 450 on a ramp on Saturday morning as my fuel pipe from the tank is looking very old and perished. My local garage holds rubber fuel pipes of various diameter in stock so i'll have a look and let you know.

If you get sorted before then, then happy days!

Zig, Jimbo, Cheers guys. If I get the chance to have a look first I'll post the size up on here.

Problem is finding time to get into the garage, too busy playing 'chuffer' for my Daughter. I'll be so glad when she can drive!!

(before anyone asks, no.... no pictures )


PS Jimbo, I hope you didn't get too wet @ Chatsworth the other Sunday.

You were parked next to Act Daft's 350i, my White 350 was a later arrival, a couple of rows further away from the house.
