Hi there,

Currently trying to solve a fueling problem with the car.

I've bought a replacement fuel pump - just the same model as the std. one.

At the same time I want to upgrade the supporting hoses.

I want to buy 2 x Goodridge 811 hoses (tank to filter and pump and pump to fuel regulator I believe).

I can't get to the car to measure and don't want to buy too long (expensive).

Could someone let me know the required lengths (4m each???)?

Thanks in advance
Cheers
Kenny

pump to regulator is a lot smaller than tank to pump... if your replacing the std tank to pump setup you will need around 1.5m.

wouldnt bother replacing the pump to regulator unless you have an issue or up upgrading?... and if your upgrading Id take the tank out and have it modded so that you only have a few inches from tank to pump!

You cannot just replace pump to regulator easily, as it's 3 pieces joined with a T piece so you have to do the lot basically.

Thanks guys for the very helpful responses smile

In terms of the right hose fittings for the tank to pump hose - i've just got a std 3R setup?

Do i need hose fitting for both ends?
Do i need straight, 45, 90, 120, 150, 180?
Do i need forged elbow or swept tube?

Any thoughts much appreciated,
Cheers
Kenny
