Fuel hose problem found! (still need help)

[Chris_D]

Ok at last i have found the problem of my fuel leak, the clip on the end of the fuel line is not a jubilee clip as shown in pic



Now obviosly when i undo this i'm gonna get fuel coming ou the end?

How can i cut off the supply of fuel so i can change the clip?

[Chris_D]

anyone? or would this be better off moved to the garage?

yeah petrol will come out but it wont be alot, wouldn't worry too much it'll evaporate away. you can clamp the rubber hose with either a proper clamp or a pair of mole grips with something to stop the teeth damaging the hose.

If you're going to use a jubilee clip, just undo it all the way so it comes undone then slip it round the hose.  No need to remove it then

Like GTIJOE said, there wont be a lot of fuel coming out of there anyway so i shouldnt worry, but if you do clamp the pipe make sure you dont tighten it too much or you'll damage the pipe. and try and use sumthing in between the clamp and pipe?!

problems fixed now, used some mole grips with a lot of padding in between so's not to damage the hose.

Need the get my fix from something else now as i don't have the petrol smell in the car any more!
