DG new fuel pipes & LPG fuel cut off valve relocation

Post by itchyfeet »

I realised recently that I have never changed all fuel rubber pipes, a lot have been changed over the years and all were in good condition but for peace of mind.

While I was doing it I took the opportunity to relocate the fuel cut off valve, a lot seem to be fitted after the mechanical pump meaning if you had a split hose when running on LPG the fuel would just keep pumping.

No I can't be bothered with an electric fuel pump before you suggest it, I run on LPG mostly.

Now installed in pipe before pump on bracket

clip and polyamide pipe ( rigid plastic pipe) should be behind bulkhead

pipe to carb from pump and return from carb to tank , note one way valve that sits behind bulkhead pulled through for renewal.

Nice write up here Paul, so important that these are changed. The fuel pipe provided by Brickwerks is the best I have come across and does not seem to have the problematic internal cracking of other hoses on the market.

I still check them regularly though.
