Fuel Pipe replacement

Post by: **Rob P** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 11:05 am

Guys I have a need to replace the T shaped fuel pipe between the two Strombergs due to this cracking and now leaking petrol.

Is it possible to get a replacement for this, I was thinking perhaps braided hoses of some type with a metal T piece pipe

Anyone any thoughts please

Braided hoses can look nice, & do offer some protection against chafing, but there's a lot to be said for being able to visually inspect your fuel lines. There's been more than one case of the hose leaking inside the braiding un-noticed.

Cheers Tim, appreciate the warning. have used these on many classic mini's in the past and you have a point that regular inspection is always warranted.

I got mine for the Strombergs from Kelsports. Very pleased.
Just don't drive the car until you've sorted it!

There are many many brass t-pieces on ebay. I bought one some months ago and it seems fine.

I also got rid of my braided fuel lines for the inspection reason, and replaced them with R9 ethanol resistant hose.
