jim21070 2 Posted January 8, 2006 Last MOT mine had an advisory that the steel fuel lines were rusty and indeed they are far from pristine and I want to replace them. The thought of the high pressure one bursting does not exactly fill me with glee to be honest. From where can I obtain replacements and what is involved in the job. I'd prefer genuine pipes and would prefer to do the whole lot from tank to fuel rail.. Any advice gratefully received... Thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugrallye 0 Posted January 8, 2006 not that pricey from pug, and they still have them, so would be best bet ultimately! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPGTi 2 Posted January 9, 2006 Automec do a kit for the 205 with all pipes cut to length already. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted January 9, 2006 I'm also fancying doing this sometime soon, but have thought of replacing the lines with braided fuel hose and running them inside the car for protection. Anyone done this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugrallye 0 Posted January 9, 2006 yes mine is like that, be careful where you route them though, and braided -8 line isnt cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Braided fuel line is cheap as chips from my local hydraulics supplier, about £1.50 - £2 a foot or something, and rated well over the 3 Bar pressure the fuel pump supplies. PS got any pics? Edited January 9, 2006 by Dream Weaver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted January 9, 2006 It's not too difficult and luckily the connections to the tank are easily detatched from the rubber hoses dropping down from it. The only place you will probably struggle is the bulkhead end (poor access). I replaced mine with the engine out so was pretty easy to get access. I've used 8mm copper piping, think my dad got it from b&q, looks exactly the same thickness (it's not that thick compared to the relatvie wall thickness of brake lines etc) as the original steel (rust-prone) pipes.

DrSeuss 0 Posted January 9, 2006 out of interest c_w how did you bend the tubing? brakeline is easy to bend but copper pipe isn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablister 31 Posted January 9, 2006 those mini pipe benders work, the ones that are used for brake pipes. Not that expensive and usually have options for 8+10mm pipe too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablister 31 Posted January 9, 2006 forgot to add, i found a list of prices for the fuel lines the rubber hoses from the pump to the metal pipes are £14.25 each part no. 1573 38 (same part for feed+return), metal pipes that run under car from rubber pipes are £11.18 each part no. 1579 26 (again, same part no. for both feed+return), feed pipe from metal pipe to fuel filter is £13.85 part no. 1557 70 and return from fuel pressure reg. has 4 different part no.s from £8.36 to £26.94, best check with peugeot to see what is right for your car. Also need all the clips and connectors, they're about £0.50p each Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redtop 14 2 Cars Posted January 9, 2006 Im just after replacing mine the other week. You can get a length of the fuel piping from a pug dealer. NOTE THAT one lenght of the fuel line is enough to do the two pipes up and down the car. Also it is extremely hard to bend but well worth it as it is a nice black finish on the pipes and helps the look of the car underneath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C_W 3 1 Cars Posted January 9, 2006 out of interest c_w how did you bend the tubing? brakeline is easy to bend but copper pipe isn't? I thought most brake lines were copper these days? The copper fuel pipe is really easy to bend as its pretty soft; I started off with taking a straight length from the back and just worked it by hand to clip in the brakcets under the car. I borrowed a pipe-bender to do the tighter bends near the bulkhead (though this was only because I was re-routing them from original) just incased they "folded" if I bent it at a too acute angle.

paul205mi16 4 Posted January 9, 2006 i would love to see pics of both fuel rubber hose routed through the car and brake lines routed through the car with bias valve for the rear disks, I would like to see the routes used and the clips that was used to hold the hose/tube to the floor etc.. these are both one of the next jobs for me to do.

pugrallye 0 Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) clips used are plastic four way things, which you rivet to floor and then cable tie hose onto (a la competition cars) I ran my brake lines inside too using copper pipe, but was advised to use braided hosing for that too as its easier to route. If you go onto www.gprdirect.com and look at part number CA2B thats the type of anchors you use. Actually scrap that, just checked and it doesnt show them on website here is what they look like, these can either be riveted or stuck on: http://ncgoddess.com/id_4792818.htm Edited January 9, 2006 by pugrallye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine will be done by the weekend. Running both fuel and rear brake lines through the car with a bias valve and hydraulic handbrake kit. Butler has pictures of his instal. Be careful on which pipes are used for fuel through the car as some let the petrol fumes through and is not very pleasant in a confined space. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted January 10, 2006 Brakelines are copper, but being nice and thick walled you don't have to worry about kinking or crushing them. The 8mm copper pipe I used was just like brake pipe to bend (just use your thumb to bend on). I'll admit its not as neat as the original factory pipe underneath the car but it doesn't look too bad.

Redtop 14 2 Cars Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry in being late to reply, but i have steel fuel lines, thats why they wre hard to bend. Haven't got the part number handy but would be friday before i could get it. It's just straight off the laser software that pug is using today. Handy for me owning a pug garage, but won't be in work till Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
