[Mk2] [NA] Solution for a fuel feed pipe leak

Post by coanda »

Sorry - not sure how this ended up in mods. - I put this post in the mechanical section, so this thread can be deleted!

Hi,

I'm in the process of putting my Rev5 back on the road for summer. Switch her on, and massive fuel leak! It looks like the high pressure hard line at the bulkhead clamp has rusted through and split.

I have a couple of options -

1. I try and find a replacement pipe - a used part I suppose.

2. I make up a new braided hose pipe between the fuel tank hard line and the fuel filter banjo. If so, does anyone know what size and thread type the flare nut is on the fuel tank side of the connection - 1/4" BSP?

Has anyone dealt with this problem before? If so, what did you do?

Thanks!
