DIY WUR Mod - will this do the job???

[rowlers]

Finally managed to get my gauge and lines cobbled together:




The k-jet lines are joined by 8mm id hose.

Anyone confirm if this will work or is it a bag of sh|t!!!


Cheers

what hose is that, if its not proper fuel injection hose I wouldn't run it!

[rowlers]

its not fuel injection hose 
But it is high pressure stuff!

Do I just need to buy some 8mm id fuel hose then?
Is the idea right though???

[rubjonny]

any idea what bar its rated to and if it can take fuel without melting?
apart from that I'd keep a close eye on the connectins to make sure they arnt leaking while its running.

[rowlers]

I'll check with my supplier (dad!)

I'm pretty sure the hose will take the pressure, maybe not the joints though!!!

Any other suggestions to join it all up?

[rowlers]

or would I be better off getting 6mm id fuel hose and clamping it directly on the metal section of the kjet fuel lines??
why is it so complicated to get this setup going!!!

[rubjonny]

cant you get those k-jet lines with threaded fittings on the end anyway?  If so you can get barbed adaptors and clamp the hose to that.  After all, the supply/return lines on the 16v have barbed fittings just pressed in...

[rowlers]

I've tried to get the barbed fittings but no one seems to do them that small a diameter! That would be ideal plug straight in and srew into the gauge!!!

if you can find a scrapped k-jet car, chop em out of the feed/return lines
