Fuel hose fittings

Post

Back to the top
Hi guys,

I can't find anywhere online the types of fittings required for underside fuel hoses. I am looking at buying A/N fittings and braided steel hose to get the job done properly.  I don't suppose anyone has a note of the exact fittings, sizes and hose diameter for:

Pump - accumulator hose (banjo and 90 degree female)
accumulator - main line hose. (90 deg and straight fit female)
send line to engine bay
return line to engine bay.

Anyone had any experience using AN fittings and making your own lines with stainless? I want to order all the bits and make lot over the next couple of weeks.  Cheers

Gillie

Thanks PPC229W.  This linked thread is a great help though doesn't quite tally with what I have…..

If anybody could guide me that would be really helpful as I am scratching my head……

I have a fuel pump to accumulator hose with a 12mm banjo fitting on pump to an m14 1.5 union on acc.

I have an accumulator discharge hose with an m12 1.5 union on acc. to an m12 bolt for fuel line.

This is an old CQ kit on which the crimps have now failed.  judging by the info on that thread - It looks to me as if my accumulator input and output are actually connected the wrong way round because of the hose fixing sizes.  Could someone who know the stock k-jet lines - let me know which the input and output of the accumulator are?  One of the threads is a m14 and one is an m12.  If mine are connected backwards I'll need to address this.  Also, my fuel pump has always been noisy since fitting these parts a few years ago which also leads me to believe the accumulator might not be doing its job correctly….(Ie. connected in reverse.)?!

Hope this makes some sorta sense…..
Any advice hugely appreciated I want to get my car up and running nicely!

Cheers
