Hi guys.
I'm wanting to swap out fuel lines.
Is there any reason not to just replace from tank to engine with single lengths of hose?
(Excluding the filter and return valve of course)
I'm not really sure why I'd want to keep the semi-rigid stuff. Just seems like more joins in the run and keeping some very old plastic pipe in there.
Thanks.

Yeah, the plastic stuff is the resilient stuff which takes the punishment under the van. Top and tail it with your new (correct spec.?) hose.

Re: Replacement Fuel Lines Question
Ok. Another question comes to mind. Can I put the one way valve the other side of the bulk head? Less joins above the engine then.

It actually should be the gearbox side of the bulkhead.chewbacca wrote:Ok. Another question comes to mind. Can I put the one way valve the other side of the bulk head? Less joins above the engine then.

Re: Replacement Fuel Lines Question
I love my bus some days...
Any reason it can't by the tank? That'd be a lot easier and less joins near the engine

Any one?
Hoping to do this job this week and I'd like to mount the non-return valve by the tank. Any reason not to?

Yes, it should be near the engine so only a small amount fuel can drain back to the carburetor.chewbacca wrote:Any one?
