The 'Regular' fuel pipes you buy from the likes of Halfords are usualy tested to stupidly high pressures. So I'm sure that'll be ok to use.

BTW, your Avatar file size is WAY too big..

Pretty sure mine says 100psi, but I could be wrong.

Try somewhere other than Halfords?

5.6-6.0 bar is main system pressure I think


so 100psi would prob do it

Go down your Motor Factors and buy HGV fuel pipe. Comes in all sizes, and is rated to 20 Bar. :)

Cheaper than Halfrauds pish too.

fuel inj stuff will do,

you best get unleaded pipeing too,

a cossie/rst running 35 psi boost will see 85-90psi fuel pressure max.

Cheers for the replies Lads, il try halfords again as i work 5 mins from there but theyre sh!t these days. You used to be able to get alright parts and diy stuff there but theyre change 2 thirds of the shop to ripspeed crap.

If not il try a motor factors.

Cheers, Bri.

Halfords fuel hose is NOT rated for high pressure. It's for non injection systems only. If you run an MFi/Efi fuel pump through it, you'll have a big flammable mess.

Cheers Ben, i used to have respect for halfords cos theyre tools and stuff were good.

The other day i was in and bought a tin of primer, £5.99 !!!!!

Then i got to the checkout and there was no f*cker there, waited 5 mins and then went and found someone and asked what she was playing at. next time it happens im gonna complain about them..........well infact unless i can help it i wont be going back.

Ive lost respect for that place now and the staff up here are sh!te.

Bri.
