Title: Custom Length Injection Hose
Post by: bmouthboyo on 18 April 2011, 21:17

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for sourcing some flexible (braided?) injector lines for my K jet DX Engine.

The engine is fitted in a T25 campervan so the standard lengths are not long enough to reach the metering head. Not looking for anything posh or fancy just something that is long enough and if flexible even better.

Also what would I ask for in terms of the banjo union and threaded end? I think mine are the coarse injectors.

Thanks  :grin:

Talk to Goodridge in Plymouth.  They will make up to suit, from a phone order.

Or find a Goodridge dealer near you and take an existing hose to them and they should fabricate one while you wait.

I have found that any hydraulic hose specialist will be able to sort you out. in the case of my braided oil feed pipe they were spot on. Just take the old pipes to somone near you and tell them the lengths you need.

Most hydraulic specialists won't make up fuel hose, as their insurance doesn't cover them to make up fuel pipes, only oil carriers.

They use oil pipe for oil and fuel pipe for fuel. If they don't stock fuel pipe you are correct, they will not be insured to give you the wrong pipe for the intended application.
