Upgrading fuel lines?

[brakedust]

Just removing some things on the top of the engine on my 4.5 and my fuel lines look shot, I only replaced one of them a year ago! Do people just refit normal fuel lines? I think I remember people saying something about stainless steel ones?

Id like some too, having a pretrip day next weekend with some new bits to fit, be good peace of mind if we could renew these aswell.

I took mine to Pirtek who made up new ones in 10mins using my old fittings. I've added a fireproof sleeve where they pass close to the exhaust manifold.

[brakedust]

did they use standard fuel line or an upgrade?

Standard fuel line. There are companies offering braided fuel lines but it's a little more difficult on mine beacuse the connections to the fuel cooler and pressure regulator are pushfit with hose clip.

Had mine replaced even though they were not in a poor state...thought better safe than sorry..too many cerbs have been lost through fire..

Yea mine are the same, looks like I will have to stay with normal lines then!
