What size fuel line?
scotty g - 12/11/06 at 04:16 PM

Hi all, a mate is fitting a sierra DOHC in his kit, keeping all the injection system. He doesn't know what size fuel line to use, what does everyone else use?
Cheers.

8mm would be plenty big enough

8mm or 5/16" should be fine for the feed but I believe the return can go down to 1/4" without any problems.

I am using the same engine in my kit and a standard B&Q 8mm copper pipe for feed and return seems to work a treat.

Yep I second nludkin. I too used B&Q's 8mm microbore copper pipe from the plumbing section. I think it cost me around £12 for a 15 metre length which will be enough to run two lengths of fuel line twice comfortably.......I should know as like a twat I kinked my first effort buggering about with it trying to get it through the holes of my diff brackets. Lets say I had more success second time round!!



Feel free to have a nose at the 'Build Diary Sept 2006' in my photo archive to see how I have run both the fuel & brake lines
