Fuel hoses replacement - part II

Next to the fuelrail injector hoses I have done the remaining fuel hoses replacement the day after. Only compiling this blog post today.

Check out the next video by Living with a classic:

The first part starts again with the fuelrail hoses but at around 15:40 he starts explaining the other fuel lines that requires replacement. He only demonstrated the tiny one.

The exercise is more or less the same but these ones are a lot more easy to carry out


And using the additional fuel hose kit with clamps


Yes, this one needed to be done badly


Cut it off and in the bench:


Use the hacksaw and it saw it open







And the same process for the other side:


Mounting on the new hose with clamps


And put it back again:




So on to the next one, which is also fairly easy accessible:


And the same process and another one finished:


The third one requires more effort but still very doable. It's twisted under the manifold and at both ends I cut it off in order to remove it gently and not damage antyhing with force.




And the other side:


Still firmly attached, so it had to be carefully cut off:





And here we have the entire pipe visible


And again, it needed to be done badly


And another 1985 tag ... strange


And refurbished


And back in again


So the next one was going from a pressure valve to the main fuelhose connected to the gastank



However it's in 2 parts. The last part is using a thicker fuel hose via a connector. Not sure why this is?
The other side is having one fuel return hose (from the cooler unit) with no connector in between but it's a slightly thicker hose as well. If I had to replace both these hoses with the provided hosekit it would mean I would run short on the provided hosekit (lengthwise) and only 2 clamps are left. So likely I only need to replace the part on the main fuel inlethose. I left it for now but will look into this next time.
