Fuel Hose

[Bogsye]

I've had a look around but couldn't quite find the answer.

I'm replacing the fuel hoses on my car (97' 4.2). I've got the engine bay hose lengths figured out.
Can anyone advise how much hose (8mmID) I should buy to cover the rear of the car?

Also how much would I need for the breather hose (6mmID) that runs along the transmission tunnel.

Appreciate any help - my car lives in a Carcoon so this and a combination of pretty terrible rain, has impeeded exploring what lurks on the rear end.

Loads of good threads out there regards hose spec and avoiding fake branded hose.

Thanks
Brian

Thanks Peter- I’ll check that out👍
I recall it was a sticky for a while.

Cheers

And, a new question.....

The small diameter pipe (6mm) that links each inlet manifold joins at an X-piece. 1 branch runs to the rear of the car via the transmission tunnel. The other runs forward through the Vee of the engine. In my case this pipe that comes to the front is capped.

Is that correct or did that go to a carbon canister or something else?

The car is a 97 4.2.

It runs perfectly well, so I'm wondering why I can't just Tee the inlets to join to the pipe running to the rear?

Cerbwill - Thanks. I'll be out in my workshop later to look at my airboxes I think.

Byker28i - Think I'm going to examine those fittings in a bit more detail. I did find the following online site which had quite an interesting tooling catalogue. http://www.cohline-uk.net/html/catalogue-tooling.h...

Right enough the blanked off pipe isn’t blanked off. It’s actually the stub from the os airbox that’s poking out the end.

The airbox has a small hole just at the top of the breather for the timing cover. Should be quite easy to fix once it’s degreased.

Mystery solved - thanks
