Joining Fuel Lines

border · Sep 14, 2019

Need to join 2 sets of Fuel lines one from Filter to Lift Pump and the other from Filter to Injection Pump. Can I just cut and join with hose and jubilee clips ? Found these connectors but the hole looks smaller so not sure if it would restrict the flow.

Replace the nylon lines with rubber. Extra joins are extra air ingress areas. They will lead to problems sooner or later.

Might nip down to Halfords in Morning to get some.

10mm brass plumbing compression fittings.
Did mine 14 yrs ago still good.
I didn't use inserts for the pipe, some say you should but 14yrs and never a leak

Know any truck mechs? if so ask for a couple of meters of nylon pipe and replace the whole lot, easy to do.
