Fuel Line route
darrens - 28/12/05 at 02:39 PM

Can anyone reassure me or advise if this is wrong.

I have come to route the fuel line(s) on the viento and found it's a bit tight when it gets to go past the diff, rather than go down under the diff and shown in the manual I have gone past the side of it. Would the clearance from diff/chassis come into question on the SVA, as you can see from pics it clipped using P clips but if you shed a light I would be grateful.

Cheers
Darren

I would think that as long as the diff is not going to move and fuel line is held nice and firmly then thats it. Not aware of any specific measurements for something being close to something else.
I have done the same.

I also have a Viento, and have routed in the same place as you have. It is close on mine and have put clips on both sides so its well fixed.

I did the same, but have since put a strip of mild steel from the Diff Bracket to the triangular web / strengthening plate to support the pipe. Then I put a P clip on the pipe about halfway along the bracket to stop it vibrating and cracking in mid air.
