Hi,
I am about to begin work on my fuel system.
I would like too run it in Nylon, the semi rigid type that most cars use.
I am struggling trying to find the quick release fittings etc
I have seen the Dorman style fittings but they are only rated at 5Bar, so what should I be looking for ?
cheers

when a fuel leak is potentially so dangerous, is it wise to do work that you are so unsure about?
steel armoured teflon is widely uysed in motorsport, connectors easy to find, but making them up is fiddly.
the bad obession boys did some recently - see their project binkie videos, cant recall which episode.

What pressure rating are you looking for? I'd expect anyone supplying fuel pipe/hose to also offer the appropriate connectors.

Wouldn't standard fuel pressure be < 5 bar in most cases?
