Thanks for that. I think mine must be a Digi looking at your photos. You reckon they can be joined then?

With a decent connection and a bit of good fortune, should be fine. Use strong clamps, not crappy jubilee clips ;)

No need to mess about trying to repair, just replace from another digi.  plenty of them around being broken and should last near enough forever since they're plastic!  If you do bridge it, be careful with using 'strong' clamps as the pipe will collapse if you go mental tight, the ends have a brass washer in to prevent this.

Most people tend to keep their sources to themselves I've noticed.

Where are you based?

I would get a length of fuel pipe from a motor factors and make them up yourself rather than relying on 2nd hand ones, ive seen a lot of threads recently about these pipes leaking and ive seen on quite a few scrappers badly perished pipes
