hi everyone . can any one tell me what size fuel pipe i need for my mk indy zetec build .does it have to be rubber or copper and whats the gap for the p clips for sva purposes,

8mm pipe. My preferred choice is copper pipe in the transmission tunnel with rubber at either end. Make sure the rubber pipe is stamped as fuel pipe and has the necessary BS codes. Copper pipe can be any old 8mm microbore plumbing pipe from B+Q

Can't remember the clip spacings but it's in the manual (RTFM!!!) and that's available all over the shop online as a PDF (useful to have for the build).

SVA manuual doesn't specify spacing for fuel pipe. Just says securely attached. It says 300mm max for wiring loom fastnings though.
