Kunifer Fuel Pipe fittings
Dave Bailey - 12/12/07 at 07:34 PM

I have 8mm OD 6 mm ID Kunifer fuel lines and want to use braided hose to the injector rail.... What fittings can I use on the pipe? If I have to I will use rubber hose and not braided but again what have people used to connect the hose to the pipe. The pipe is not beaded....thanksDave BAiley

I flare the tube and use a proper tube nut, then use the AN flare fittings on the hose.

You can use compression fittings on the 8mm, then match up with hose fittings. Comp fittings are easily bought at B&Q, or most central heating/plumbing supply places.

Cheers,
Syd.

I buy my fittings from these people.

I just wondered if 6mm id is big enough.

I hope so... I am told that this ID will be good for over 200bhp on fuel injection. I have a pump out of a subaru Imprezza and the outlet pipe size is 6mm ID. The sard fuel pressure reg I have is also 6 mm ID and the fuel rail is just over 6mm

Anyone else used 6mm ID?
