I run Veg and Bio.
I know that these fuels eat rubber pipes and so I have been expecting these to start leaking which they now have.

I usually replace the rubber pipes on my bio cars with nylon pipe. Sizes vary from 3mm to 5mm ID.

Before I place an e-bay order for some, does anyone know the correct ID of these pipes?

Thanks

Just to answer my own question.

6mm OD 4mm ID is the correct size. Quite a tight fit though but I used a heat gun to warm up the ends before pushing the pipe over the nipples first.

Fleabay I paid £1.86

Leak off pipes all replaced on engine :thumb2

Here is the link >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121105181145?var=420137553466&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I purchased red to match the car :D 1 Metre should be sufficient.

Cost £1.82 not £1.86 :thumbs

Removing the old ones is quite fiddly:

Removing the old clips and perished rubber was slow -I pulled on the pipes but they all snapped because the rubber was perished and had to be cut using a sharp knife and wedging a flat screwdriver to get the last bits off.
Throw away the clips you won't need them.
Replacing was much easier.

Don't forget to draw a diagram of which pipe goes where BEFORE you remove them. Don't forget to retain the little blank nipple that is in the end of the short piece on Injector 4 (the one nearest the dashboard) so you can push it into the new piece of pipe.

Have fun.

might be being thick here but would this stuff be ok for fuel line? the rubber ones i put on have perished due to using veg oil, so am wondering if this would be a better replacement than new rubber line
