NTC2159 Fuel Pipe Assy

Karls · Jan 2, 2015

I'm swapping out the fittings from my old fuel tank to a new one. I took the fuel pipe assembly out and it's got a tapered gauze on the end of it, looks like it's been soldered on. It's rusty as hell and a slight brush with a small wire brush broke through the gauze.

I don't think this looks standard compared to the pics I've found. None of them show a any type of gauze on the end of the pipe. What's your opinions?

Should I just remove the gauze and use it as it should be, just pipe only? Does anyone know what the pipe length should be please?

This looks just like fuel pickup pipes I have had on Series III tanks. You could remove the gauze, but you need to clean out the tank thoroughly and the be very scrupulous every time you add fuel. If I was you I'd bite the bullet and buy a new pick up pipes and save yourself the risk of any future fuel blockages. Or of course you could just fit an in line fuel filter.
Measure the depth of the tank with a rod to find how long the pipe should be
