[TuxMan]

just looking at this at the moment , looks like the feed from the tank is -12 which is bloody hugh !!! bearing in mind the filter and pump ar only -6 !!! don,t know why they have gone so big . will know more when i get it all stripped out .

[funkybmx1]

thanks. if you can let us no. i aint a clue. how ya getting on what you doing

[daddysumo]

I've just replaced all mine today. From my short memory the tank feed is 13 mm ID. I used 5/8 high pressure braided hose with dash 10 I believe to the filter, then hard couplings from the filter to the pump(044), including 2 off 90 Deg bends then a dash 6 HIGH FLOW banjo to the existing braided hose,dont shoot me if I'm wrong !

I got mine from two places, Think automotive and my local hydraulic hose specialist (Hydrahose)
If you take it all off the car and go to your local specialist and say I want all thses hoses replacing with High Pressure braided hoses and couplings they should be able to do it all for you !

I use these guys - www.speedflow.co.uk. Just as good and 1/2 the cost

-10 tank to filter and pump, and -6 pump to fuel regulator and rail. Goodridge 811 hose for me. Not cheap; about £40 per metre and about £30 per hose end fitting.

where did you get your fuel pump brackets ??

[Richie350]

I have similar set up, brackets available on ebay, fits both 044 pump and sytec fuel filter!!!!

regards Richie

[Richie350]

The Sytec filter is made to fit directly on the end of the 044 pump, not sure why Noble split it, maybe too long in series??

I got all my bits from Peter gidden including the adapter to convert the duratec fuel rail to a -6 connection .
