Fuel lines help

Right changed my fuel pump a while ago and had no issues or a change but the car started to leak fuel in the car today

Got home and pulled off the cover in the car and a hose has got a split in it!

Am I right in thinking to change the hose I have to drop the whole tank? And yes I Dnt mind the few people taking the piss lol iv never actually replaced any fuel lines as such. 

Right just had time to google it and looking on the online manual is that hose the return one back into the corner of the tank behind the drivers seat?



My blue smurf hands are pointing to the suspect

Thanks in advance

Not sure wich one it is ..... but if i remember right the lines are clipped to the tank ....is there not enough play to cut it where it is split and push it on further mate ...?

Just been looking for pics of the top ofthe tank and its number 1 on thy pic only a short length the inner tube has perishesh tried cutting it back but it's the inner skin that's gone I think:(  

think I should replace all of them tho if one is that bad maybe :-/

If your gonna go through the hassle of changing one your best of replacing them all. If the inner part of the pipe has started breaking down I wouldn't of thought it would take long to block your filter. I buggered my fuel lines when I fitted my walbro, I managed to run some new fuel lines in conduit down side of tank to the metal fuel lines. Would like to run them correctly one day...

you could always run them in 8mm copper on inside of car
then that way you dond need to remove the tank and always easy to get at then
then just cut the others out altogether

same problem here, had a look in my tank for a fuel pump, put everything back together and fuel just started pissing out the the pipe when i started  where does that pipe go to as i need to sort it asap?

Have a look at the big pic of the tank it's only a short length before going rigid again I'm guna decide the weekend if I'm running new lines or dropping the tank!

let me know as i need to decide myself, i assume you will need to drop the subframe a bit to get to the tank. dunno how big a job it is though

When I ran mine I lowered the subframe as far as it would go down on the threads then released the tank, was just enough to get the new pipes in.

vss irvine posted on modifiers that all you need to do is disconnect brakes, prop, suspension struts, then the 4 bolts holding the subframe on then drop it, dunno whats after that lol, if its an easier job than a clutch then i dont mind and will give me the oppourtunity to underseal the rear end properly

its not a bad job  as long as the rubber mounts arn't bedded on. otherwise it can take ages to prize the subframe off.

Sounds like a job for the weekend gives me a chance to check more of the car over too I guess 
Will have to bare with me but will take pics and maybe do a right up on it and if looks ok can go on here

That would be good paul .... another few how to's wouldnt go a miss   as said already two bolts on the bottom of the strut and caliper use a piece of string or cable tie to hold the caliper up hang it off  the strut  then diff bolts to prop ..... think there is a couple of sensors to unclip off the subframe cant remember now 

I was guna do a how to with my new 6ft pry bar tho
Sounds like you want me to be gentle lol

i fixed mine without dropping anything, just trimmed pipe back and used pipe connectors to connect a new piece of pipe, holding ok so far

Hey thank god you lot out a pick of the fuel tank up I was wanting to put braided hoses on but was wondering if I would need to drop the tank off but lucky you've put a pick up so I could just bypass the old pipes and feed the new fuel pipe through. But I cut my bloody thumb on a clip trying to get the old pipe off lol.

Yes mate there is quite a few diagrams like that in the freq asked and how too section ..... what pipe are you replacing ?

Cool. It was the feed pipe thought I would replace it as it's 20 odd years old and didn't trust it since there's some pressure behind it. Better safe than sorry
