Fuel hose replacement
Discussion
After one of my fuel hoses splitting of course it's time to replace the lot , just in case, as I've just done a set of ACT blue coolant hoses I thought I'd try and match with fuel lines , I think I've found a place that does the blue hoses , EARLS performance products based at Silverstone, just got to call them on Monday.
I was tracing the 8mm hoses , to measure for what length of hose to buy , from the fuel rail to the ' T' piece, one goes round behind the cam cover and the other disappears down the tunnel towards the gearbox . Could anyone give me any information on where these hoses go or a link or diagram please , I'd like to replace them before the car catches fire !!!!
Thanks

The feed has a bango pressed in to it and runs from the rear of the fuel rail down between the chassis/insulating material and the chassis. It emerges from the rear of the transmission tunnel and loops over the chassis to the fuel filter.
The return come from the front of the rail (mine) sits in some clips in the inner wing and follow the same path back between the chassis and the body and emerges at the same place but goes over the chassis between the chassis and the body (on a tuscan) and returns to the boot via the rear passenger side wheelarch.
Ive replaced mine.. Its not easy. Is the Earls stuff made of a similar nylon material? Ideally you want it to be semi rigid with a very smooth exterior to feed through between the chassis and body easily. Especially when feeding the return back above the chassis or you may need to do a body lift.
I bought pipe from these guys http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181461970839?_trksid=p20...
