different feed and return fuel line
Turbo Mini Forums

before the post whores reply with "try the search" i have and there is lots of info but not specifically to what im after.

obviously 8mm ID feed and return is bestist, but, on my old n/a setup i used 6mm ID stainless braided hose and have ample surplus of that still new that I could use for one length of the car.

So if i get some new 8mm ID and my current 6mm ID, one of each, which would I use for the feed and which for the return? its just to reduce my cost on fuel line as I have a load spare and brand spankers sitting there.

also, i previously experienced a fuel leak from the 6mm ID hose where it connected to the HIFF 44, isnt 8mm just going to increase this problem?

From what i can work out you want a lower pressure for return
so 8mm for return and 6mm for feed.

Correct me if im wrong

Turbodaves link explains it.

cheers jordan, i'll stick with the 6mm feed, i dont see the point in using an 8mm feed if the fuel entry point to the carb is less than that as thats the bottle neck.

i have a facet red top pump, is there a "prefered" regulator to use with that or stick with the metro turbo one? something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=280226245824

Dont use a red top. You want a roller vane fuel pump.

Hi,
I'd use the metro reg, I think a brand new one from MS is only £35?
Cheers,

Definately larger bore on return line.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt... Then it's hilarious!

Ive gone OTT and done 10mm feed AND return.
Dunno whether itll be to big, but i guess ill have to grit my teeth and find out.

I have used 10mm on mine for a couple of years without any problems! However i am going to 8mm as im tidying my pipework up.
