iomlt Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Why out of braided? why not use standard fuel line? pump is in tank so wont collapse be a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacrits68 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 hello! Im too interested what hose diameter i should use, idea is to use STC1677W filter and maybe relocate to a bit cleaner place! Do you think its a working combination for an -98 V8 disco 1? //Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 8mm id if using rubber from memory and make sure its high pressure injection hose, however i would be tempted to opt for nylon hose for the main run with good quality rubber hoses either end, such as this http://www.ebay.co.u...=item20c47a5bf1 dont have the links to hand but you can buy all the fittings for that stuff online and its what all modern cars use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacrits68 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 hello! Maybe rubber is better if you have to bend it? Nylon hose seem/fell kind of hard, and maybe not suitable for bends? Is there any difference how far from fuel tank the filter is? I was thinking to relocate it to more secure/clean place! //Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
