Fuelling a 1.8t

Hi,

Been doing a bit of reading and getting myself confused.

I'm doing a 1.8t conversion like everyone else and I'm getting round to sorting the fuel lines. Can someone please help sort me out.

I've got the filler neck…

I need one of these (filler neck to tank)

I have a tank

I need one of these (tank to pump)

I have a pump

I need one of these (pump holder)

and (pump foam)

I've then read I don't need an accumulator. So what do I need from the pump forward?

If someone could help that would be great

8mm fuel lines (I used braided hose) and a fuel filter like this………..

Cheers pal, is that just a generic 8mm fuel filter? Is the list above correct too?

Yeah it's generic stuff.

I have also used THESE at the end of the hoses. One bit of advice though, wrap a seal of tape round the end before you put the finishers on as it makes life much easier getting them on and not have braid going everywhere trying to escape.

List looks ok to me.

I think we measured we needed about 8 metres of hose for your info.

Cool, got all that stuff…

is the fuel hose about £10 a metre?

I bought 10m off eBay for £69 so roughly £7 a metre but there may be cheaper places.

Good luck.

Yeah it's generic stuff.

it best be for a fuel injection/high flow car or i might as well through it in the bin

Goes without saying.  

bin it is then.

what pump have you got dude? if its a k-jet then you'll also want a barbed banjo adaptor, m12x1.5.

dont forget a fuel filter as well, mk2 digifant or mk3 petrol will be fine. as you say no need for the accumulator so you can mod its brackets to hold your filter or just make something up. the mk3 golf has a handy fuel filter carrier under the car you could use as a base.

and yeah make sure the hose is rated for fuel injection

Gone for original mk1 item, new, bosch.

I've bought a generic fuel filter

I bought this

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/fuel-hose/sytec-stainless-steel-overbraided-high-pressure-fuel-hose-8mm-bore

so should be okay?

I've bought the bracket off CQ so will see what it looks like when I get underneath.

Thanks for your help

Yeah that stuff looks fine mate, perhaps should've pointed that out in my first reply.  

if the filter is rated for fuel injection then you should be fine, if its for carbs send it back

this is the kind of thing you want for fuel pump:
