Hi I need to replace the fuel lines/hoses on both my 748's as they are looking past it and one has a fuel leak . I was wondering if anyone knows what size they are and if I can go to Halfords or Euro car parts and pick up a metre or 2 . Thanks in advance Duncs
If it's the same bore as an ST4s, it's 8mm or 5/16". I recently bought some to replace my lines, but struggled to find some good stuff with correct ratings. There are many horror stories about of cheap fuel hose breaking down so I went for this:- https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/high-spec-rubber-fuel-hose-by-cohline-per-metre-2240 Was about the cheapest place I could find it. I'm not sure the Halfords or ECP stuff is particularly good for the price you'll pay for it.
Just looked at link from Turbogeek and looks like a good choice, reinforced construction and importantly pressure rated which cheaper pipe may not be which would concern me on an injected system. Also resistant to all the crap they add to fuel these days. You get what you pay for.
Thanks guys I'll measure my hoses and go for those Merlin Sport ones I don't mind paying a bit extra for peace of mind . I haven't checked Ducati OEM yet they might be a reasonable price .
