fuel pipe - did I make a ****

Just realised I have used 10mm microbore not 8mm microbore as fuel pipe. I have a facet blue top fuel pump capable of delivering about 5-6psi of pressure, however this will be regulated to 3-4psi for my twin webers.

Does it matter that I have used 10mm not 8mm pipe ?

You can get 10-8mm converters in yorkshire fittings to make it even easier





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Just use a thirstier engine, no point in wasting the pipe.

phew, just for a moment I though I was going to have to rip it out and replace it. Don't worry about the 10mm to 8mm converters. The rubber fuel pipe I have at each end was a tight fit anyway. Plus I put a single flare on each end of the copper pipe as well to stop the pipe popping off.

Got a feeling my 2.0L zetec with the twin 45's is going to be thirsty anyway (well it will be with my heavy right foot !!!)

thanks people panic over
