fuel line next to wiring loom
Alistair - 24/4/03 at 06:53 PM

I was recently told that my car would not pass the SVA because my fuel line runs down the same side of the transmission tunnel as the wiring loom.
The fuel line is rubber and the loom is wrapped with insulation tape.
As the test is in 2 weeks, can anyone help so I have time to move it?

I might fail, might not. Depends on where you are and who you get from what I've heard.

If they are serarated could be OK, I've heard fail stories about fuel and brake lines been run down the tunnel next to each other, and the loom cable tied to them! IMHO that is just stupidity. Some people shouldn't be allowed to build cars!

Move it, you'll be really pi**ed off if thats the olny thing it fails on and you knew about it!
