fuel hose size??

[Glanza_cl]

what size fuel hose do i need? i done a search but couldnt find anything.

I have a Sard kit and want to replace the lines with new braided lines.

I have a feeling it's 1/4 6mm is that correct??

I thought it was 8mm fuel line but people would have to comfirm

 

[Glanza_cl]

lol i don't have a clue, i would take off the fuel line and have a look but i would have to de pressurise the line then fuel would still leak everywhere so thought it better just to ask lol

dont know if its the same on an ep82, but on my ep80 i had to use 7mm hose from the solid fuel return line coming from under the car to the fpr (with 7->8mm adapter inbetween).. from there onwards i used 8mm as my fpr has 8mm hose fittings

from what i remeber it was 8mm, make sure you get some good brand ones as ones i gotfrom halfords kept splitting all the time.

 

[Glanza_cl]

cool cheers for the help people, so it looks like it definitely is 8mm hosing then.

thanks

my sard fpr had 8mm fittings too so think lines are 8mm!

 

[GTWorld]

My FSE wanted 8mm, but I only had 7mm. Squeezed them on with a bit of boiling water - nice tight fit! lol

yeh its 8mm but the return line is 6mm at the pipe that comes out the bulkhead i think its return to the tank not sure but its definatly 6mm

exactly.. i used 7mm there.. its the fuel return line to the fuel tank..
do not use 8mm there as if it slips, you're in deep .. trouble

 

[Glanza_cl]

yeah it's cool i'm gunna use 6mm on the return line so it's nice and tight and 8mm to the regulator
