wallbro 255 lph fuel pump connector
im using wallbro 255litre per hour pump on my ae86. fuel just came gushing out somewhere on the connector from fuel tank to chasis fuel line. my question is are the standard rubber fuel hoses good enough for this or do i need some bling bling braided hoses for it?? installed new pump a few weeks ago.
might need some new EFI fuel hose
so the normal ones should do the trick yea??
dont see why not double hose clamps??
thing is i dont know if its the hose or the clamp thats failing
will spend sum time under the car tomorrow like most hachi owners lol
you do have high pressure/EFI hose, right? Are you putting hose onto unflaired hard lines?
i presume its efi coz it was there b4 and there wasnt a problem. if by flaired u mean the metal hoses go bigger at the end then yes its flaired
my guess would be it is not efi hose and cant handle the higher pressure.
stroked 2L ca18-ae86 in the build...eta xmas 2012?
nah you just have a leak.
none of this double clamp crap. you are talking about fuel here, do it properly.
take it all off, get any bare metal pipes flared if they arent, use proper hose clamps, the one with the bolt, not the screw.
looks like this:
available from a proper hydraulics shop, dont go to supercheap auto.
use the CORRECT size fuel hose, with the CORRECT size clamp, those clamps come in MANY MANY sizes, make sure it fits perfectly.
if you have to tighten it more than about 5 turns, its too big.
that walbro sounds way to big anyway, but thats another arguement.
