MY NEW FLEXY FUEL LINES

A week late but this is result of having both fuel lines made up in 1/4" PTFE Stainless sleeved , to fit my 1.8 GTI .
       I wanted both lines to be complete end to end so the new feeds will run direct from the accumulator straight to the filter and the return straight to the tank flexey elbow . They will also fit straight on the old hangers and rubbers and can easily be threaded round all the hard bits when fitting to the car . Is this the best way to fuel your Golf ? I think so !! Any questions please post .

Cheers Chudd….  

Look pretty smart    so where did you get them from and how much?

Just like mine :wink:
no messing about trying to bend them into shape aye!

perfect..

I am liking them.

How much and where? and do they want to do any more?

Peter.

More details please!! Dimensions, fittings and cost  

Looks like a good way to avoid having to do the job again.

Simple rearly i just worked out what i wanted by taking all my old bits with me and measuring the total length went to my "local" [ follow the link ]

They will also make any "Quote" any pipe to your specification , i went to my local branch and asked can you make me this ? No problem , give them a try .  

2 Weeks later ready for collection pay my ?56.00 and one chuffed to bits Golf owner …….


Chudd……

Those are neat! Will look good when installed nice n fresh!

Fantastic     They look rather neat. I am going to get mine done too  :wink:

I contacted my "local" dunlop hi flex retailer in Winchester today enquiring about the fuel lines Chudd had made up. Interestingly they refused to make them up for me initially because it was company policy NOT to supply fuel lines for motor cars. They also recommended only to use the same material of the pipe which is already on the car and not the PTFE stuff as above.

They are willing to make up some lines for me on the basis of them being on a replacement item for something which was "unserviceable" if you like.

They were still very helpful on the phone, they gave me some viable alternatives and telephone numbers to follow up on in my area to save the travel expense.

Not sure what to do now TBH

         Sorry you have not had the same success as i did . My local branch were totaly different and could not do enough for me . Does it depend where you live ? It was not the first time they had made up lines like this for customers and it was only the correct new ends that took the time to arrive as they are not standard stock items .  
         G60RGE posted above that a firm made some for him ? Who was it  G60RGE ?
           Try the "viable alternatives and telephone numbers to follow up on in my area to save the travel expense" first then see what happens .Has any body else tried ?

I phoned them today G60RGE, thet were very helpfull and willing to make them up for me. Just need to give them the length of runs etc now   

Cheers,

I too now have new flexy fuel lines     Got them done locally in the end. A company called Pirtek in swindon. They look identical too!

I am going to get the pipe from the pump to acc done at bsr cos pirtek couldn't do it in the end.

Cheers…….Nick

Pirtek have 'man in van' or men rather as plenty of em going round the UK. Do hydraulic hoses etc.

I've used on machinery before so dont know if worth considering for home fitment of hoses?!

Nice one nickvw

Did you get a good price and was there any hassles ?

They were great, Gave them the details and I litterally picked them up the next day  

Cost was 75 quid for the lot. Can't remember how much other forum members have paid but I didn't think it was expensive.

Cannot drive the car without them  :wink:

Nice one pleased you have a good result and at a good price

The replacement pipes without the ends would have set you back ?60.00 and you had to bend them !!!

These new ones will last for ever ….

Nice work Chudd, have you got a measurements. I can't take mine off as my Golf is a daily runner.

nice work chudd

any chance of getting a full description of materials and lengths and dimensions and fittings for both lines start to finish as my mechanic said he was going to make them up himself $$$$.
so if you could get the info from your supplier i could get them and just have my mechanic fit them instead. or if you have a contact person and they still have the spec i could just ask them to make me a set?

i have had two fuel leaks in the past couple of months that have been 'patched' in lieu of full replacement.

if you could help i would be extremely grateful

thanks
mark
