Hiya guys,

so as i'm sure some of you are painfully aware, the proper piece that goes from the injector leak off to the fuel filter is unavailable from anywhere iv googles for the last hour or so.

So i was wondering if anybody had any idea of the correct pipe that should be fitted and their respective fittings so i can make one up myself.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

My current leak off has the non-threaded type of end but i wanted to replace with a proper set from craddocks with the threaded connector, as i'm forever replacing the hoses in between (probably my own fault for not buying the correct ID hose from halfrauds) and the same type of hose I had to fit returning to the filter as they keep splitting at the ends.
 
what diameter pipe would you suggest? My eye-sight isnt good enought to see the difference between a 6 or 8mm inner diameter even with something to measure with :rolleyes:
 
I Tee'd mine into to flow return to the tank and blanked off the filter port. The engine seemed to run better that way as well....... dunno why.
 
I use some standard copper pipe and use the flexy hose to join it so most of the length is metal. I always carry a spare bit of hose to cut and replace the joiing sections as they don't seem to last even when I buy proper fuel hose.
