All petrol ones are the same, but saloon and estate rear sections are different. And 4pot/V6 front sections are different. Readily available new :y
Edited for clarity.

Ah this was a concern I had - how you'd remove complete.... will see howI get on, but suspect they're going to be a pain.

Can they wait until... next year?  :)

Even wanting 250+vat for a clutch kit. Think they see me as a walking wallet

Clutch kits can be got anywhere, buypartsby are good for those.

The fuel hose is easy to get, I use this company:

It means using short length of rubber with stainless fuel line clips for joints but its good stuff

So you don't have to use the hard plastic lines. Good stuff :y

The black plastic fuel pipe is available from hydraulic suppliers(it's airline on trucks); expect to pay about £20 for 30metres. It is possible to form permanent curves in it using a heat gun, and 30m is more than enough to practice with. Get the joining hose and clamps from the same place.

Have I got this right davieboy0312, it was an MoT adivsory that your fuel lines were 'corroded' - the metal bits which enter the engine bay? (everything else being plastic as just mentioned above)

No mate. I'm the nutter that's powder coated his engine etc and getting shell ready for same treatment next summer. But had to strip shell for blasting. Pipes wouldn't come apart so had to improvise with a big knife. Didn't think they would be so expensive or rare to find

A little information is a dangerous thing...

You actually need #2 and #7 ;)

Type the part numbers into ebay.com... might get lucky at a dealer in the US :-\

Guess you're worried about the filter clips?

These can be replaced with 3-4 inches of ISO7480 fuel hose and four stainless spring clips either side of the filter.

Can use either another filter or a suitable length of stainless tube to join the return pipes together as well, but does rather depend on where and how you cut the fuel lines :-\
Title: Re: fuel pipes
Post by: davieboy0312 on 20 December 2014, 12:28:00
Well couldn't unclip any of the pipes apart from ones at filter and at canister the rest got chopped and binned. So need all  :-[
