Good evening all

I know this has been covered previously, so apologies for asking again, but the visible fuel pipe that runs from the tank to the fuel line on my car looks perished and I want to change it before using the car again this year.

Can anyone advise on the correct size and type and pressure rating of pipe to use please?

All of the fuel line pipes I look at look to operate at much lower pressure ratings than the one currently fitted to my car (see photo of my fuel pipe).

Is it that my car is already fitted with the wrong stuff?

Thanks

Andy

Excellent, thanks for that folks.

I bought the car nearly 3 years ago from an elderly gent who had put a brand new chassis on the car. He didn’t have access to the internet or anything (he typed me out a receipt for the car on his manual typewriter!), so I suspect he utilised what he could get his hands on at the time of the rebuild.

The other fuel lines look okay, but will double check them again when I have it up on the ramp to change this.
