help with fuel pipe

[Jimii]

hi guys does anyone know where I can get a new fuel hose that fits to the front of the fuel rail opposite side to the pressure regulator, also does anyone know where it connects too? cheers

It connects to the top of the silver tube that is part of the A/C system.

I'll dig a pic out to illustrate it.

Maybe it's the camera angle, that fuel pipe ( feed side to fuel cooler) looks
dangerously close to the AC belt.
I had that same belt cut through a fuel pipe on a trackday, could have been
nasty. Mine are now clipped well out of the way.
Oh I've got a spare fuel pipe in Earls metal braid with fittings in my tool box
if you need it.

Exactly. One run goes from the connection under the cooling system header tank to the fuel pressure regulator on one end of the fuel rail. The other run goes from the other connection under the cooling system header tank to the fuel cooler and then from the fuel cooler to the other end of the fuel rail. If one hose is dodgy change all three, because it won't be long before the next one's leaking with potentially very serious consequences. It was easiest for me to take them all off and along to a hose specialist to get new ones made up, so the appropriate lengths and fittings etc. were used.

Hi Nick. Yes, that pipe was perilously close to the belt. But has since been through the 18 month resto. All nice and tidy now.
