Fuel injection pipe
Johnmor - 30/1/06 at 09:25 AM

Hi
I intend using the fuel injection system for my alfa V6. What are the rules (SVA) for the supply pipe from the tank, can i use copper and what sort of pipe clips are acceptable. The pump will be in the tank so the fuel will be at pressure through the feed to the engine. If i use copper and flare the ends (single flare) can I use normal fuel pipe clips with high pressure hose, or should i just run hose all the way?

Cheers

Copper or Steel pipes are fine. Single flare with high pressure hose and proper fuel pipe clips (not Jubilee clips) passed SVA for me.

I clipped the metal pipes to the chassis every 200mm and supported the rubber hose where I could.

My fuel pump is also just next to the tank so I have high pressure fuel from there all the way to the fuel rail.
