Fuel pipe problems

<< < (2/3) > >>

Paul:
If it was me I'd cut the leaking bit out and fit a bit of proper fuel
pipe hose in it's place and secure with a couple of house clips.

I wouldn't replace the whole fuel line.

RR Paul:
Result!! Ireally didnt fancy the idea of trying to fit a complete line,
Thanks everyone for your views.
Just one more thing, will that type of repair be okay for an mot?

Hangover:
Doesn't matter as long as it is done with rubber fuel pipe.it should say 'fuel hose' on it.

I'm glad you said that, with your encyclopedic knowledge of the MOT and all, because that's exactly what I have done, just ahead of the rear wheel where all the muck colects.  I wasn't sure if there was a reason it has to be steel pipe other than cost at manufacture.  Also can it be replaced with copper ppipe rather than steel?

I don't see why not.

The only reason for failure on the MOT is if the fuel system is leaking or
a component is insecure and likely to drop off.
