Fuel hoses
« on: 15 January 2011, 11:47 »
Currently ive got fuel hoses for the the kjet system, but I've now got the fuel injector rail from an abf (abf inlet manifoldetc) So where the kjet lines connect just by the servo and that, do I take them out there? Where do I get new fuel lines from and how do you connect them. On the fuel line I've got the plastic clip bits with about 6" of fuel line on it. Do I just remove that old line and get fresh hose and connect to the bit by the servo.?

What the braided ones from the metering head etc? or the rubber ones flow and return?

The hoses look like they will go to where I won't them but how do I connect them to the plastics bit, just push them on?

what you do is get the old feed and return lines for the metering head. if you look at the end of them where the threaded fitting is, chop the plastic part off and you'll be left with a pair of threaded fittings with barbed ends. fit them to the 2 lines that come from the fuel pump and push on your abf lines then secure with proper fuel line clips :)

Ill add pics it helps me lol

Thats what on my abf clip bit, so not much





And they are my flow and returns, can I not just bring them over and chop them and put them straight onto my abf clip bit? Bit confused with the threaded fittings, are they what I see in the picture?

Yes, with sweary words and some perseverance. There are usually some springy clip things that hold the injector in the manifold, carefully prise that off then two spanners to unscrew them. Bit od penetrating oil wouldn't go amiss either otherwise you'll open up your thumb on a manifold stud like I did :wink:

I need to check out the fuel line on my ABF too as I'm think along the same ways as you.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
