    Help please

    Hi guys I have put my my turbo on and cam in. Went to start the car and didn't. I discovered I have a split fuel house. It is the inlet hose that connects to the fuel rail and runs down the bulk head and connects to the metal fuel lines under the car. They are connected with metal bits. How do these detach and I am struggerling and getting very close to setting fire to it. Also where can I get a replacement

    i think they might be swaged. though i dont have the car in front of me to check.

    you could probably get a hose company o some kind to come out and repair the fuel line for you but i dont know how much that would cost.

    Yeah they are swaged down. For a mobile one it will be a fair bit just foe that little bit. What id do is get some kind of joiner that will take fuel and join then together with a new piece of pipe. You'll be able to pick a bit of fuel hose up easily enough.

    Get some new hose, some decent jubilees and a joiner (small metal pipe insert). Cut off where the split is and join some new hose on with the joiner and jubilees.

    Yes mate my mate made an alloy joiner and joins it at the bottom and put the new hose on and ran it straight into the injector rail.
