Copper fuel pipe
neilp1 - 4/9/11 at 04:48 PM

Where's the best place to buy 8mm copper fuel pipe. This is for fuel injection. I intend to run 8mm rubber or braided pipe from the fuel pump to the copper that will run through the tunnel then back to rubber.

Will 8mm OD be okay for this?

Find your local builders merchant / plumbers merchant and buy it there - its called 8mm microbore pipe. You can then get the solder fittings to do tight 90 degree bends if needed (although gentle bends are better for flow).

Kunifer is available in 8mm , available from your local motor factors, is less likely to kink than microbore and is stronger . The down side it is more expensive

Can you buy this off the net if so where as I've done a search but can't find any. I've also contacted a couple of places local to me and they don't do it!!!

got mine for the kip marina chandelry shop. i don't know if theres a difference, but they sell it as fuel pipe (not microbore heating pipe)

£2.60 per metre mine was. well happy with that. is there anything like that near newcastle?
