Anyone used these for mounting two fuel lines and gone through SVA. If so what distance apart? I am using nylon lines....

thanks

Okay different question..... Anyone think there will be a problem using them?

from what I know, fuel lines need to be marked as such. dunno about those clips but as long as the fuel pipes are secure it should be fine - I would question those clips as the lines "press in" so in theory takes less effort to pull out than say a riveted p-clip (at a guess).

why make life difficult and not use p-clips? known to be SVA friendly.

remember if they fail, it will be a right pig to get at them all to replace them so I wouldn't chance it.

(or write letter to SVA?)

I used similar clips on mine with no problems although I used 1x8mm pipe and 1X 3/16" brake pipe. Put them a least every 300mm although I think that is the requirement for wiring. Are you using injection? If so where did you get the fuel pipe?

I am usin nylon that I bought from lolocost. No markings on it but they said they would send me a c of C but they didn't. I think others have used it.

I am fiting 2 litre zetec with throttle bodies. Flow and return is 8mm od 6mm id. Hope this will be o.k.!
