fuel pipe i.d. adapters
hi all.
My old fuel pipe is 6mm internal diameter, but my new fuel pump has 10mm terminals. Do motor factors usually sell the adapters i will need, or should
i get an order in online? Been looking on the nf auto site, its about £1.75 each.
Any help appreciated

not really an option for me that one, as its 6mm all the way to the engine and its partly full of fuel, so i cant heat it. Im only changing the pump!

If you want a pucker adapter then you're probably best off asking in a motorsport place.
Alternatively you can bodge one up if you think about it hard enough...

Joel, I think what tks means is get a short length of rubber fuel hose to fit your pipe (  ), warm one end, dip one it in some freshly boiled water
for 30 secs or so (ouch!), hopefully that'll make it flexible enough to squeeze over the pump fittings.
