Fuel hoses from pump in poor condition
Discussion
Hi all,
Had noticed a fuel smell when reversing for a week or so, so inspected the fuel hoses over weekend. Found the rubber hose from the fuel pump to the fuel filter had started to fracture. The cracks were on the vertical part that runs up the chassis rail and on the sharp radius right next to the pump.
I'd put a picture on if I knew how.
Have previously had the pipes in the engine bay replaced (the ones that commonly crack). Maybe this points to the all needing to be changed. The car is a 1997, so if yours is similar age, give it a once over.
Cheers, Matt
