Hi All,

 

Looking to change all the fuel lines, clips, filter, the lot. Anyone know where I can get a full kit to do this?

 

Cheers.

You looking for standard hoses or braided ones?

Not sure. I like to keep it standard if I can.

 

Cheers.

There are mixed reviews on aftermarket fuel pipe quality, most being that you can't beat OEM for longevity of life. But for the price, an aftermarket kit could be great value:

Also make sure you use the newer style spring type clamps and not the old screw types as they can also help the pipes to last longer.

This was at my door this morning.

Also worth getting bio fuel friendly hose, ethanol is known to rot older type of lines. Been there done that.

Thanks for that. Is there nowhere in the UK that supplies these?

Earls lines and fittings are about the best you can get if you're going braided/AN sized/type fittings to be honest.

 

If not hydraulic suppliers will stock top quality lines etc for half the price of OEM usually.

Do you have to fabricate them yourself or are they ready made? Where are they from? I've just searched "earls Lines" and came up with nothing?

 

Cheers.

You don't "fabricate" anything but you do have to assemble them, but it's straight forward stuff. The hardest part will be getting the right sized AN fitting to change the lines from oem to suit the fittings, but again it's pretty straight forward and overall worth the outlay/effort if it's a show/track/drift car etc but for a daily the whilst the normal hydraulic items aren't shiny blue and red they are more than upto the job and will probably outlast the car providing you get the right grade hose but they'll advise you on all that and it's a cheap job.

 

Earl's lines and fittings or try aeroquip. It have thought it would Google straight up though.

I've replaced all my fuel lines with brand new Nissan ones. A trick is to use the newer spring clips rather than the old clamp style ones as they're zero-maintenance.

 

Unless you're going for full AN fittings upgrade, I'd steer clear of those large ugly braided universal style lines that you screw on with jubilee clips. They look terrible and there's absolutely no benefit with them, they're just regular rubber hoses underneath. True braided lines with AN fittings will use a Teflon sleeve inside of the braid and are a worthy upgrade.

How do the newer spring clips hold up to running higher fuel pressures? Do they have a max rated limit?

They don't I'm told! If you're using a higher fuel pressure, use the early style clamps.
