R70 Issue... - Jonny81191 - 25-10-2012 Fitted my new R70 this evening. No issues fitting the pump, all back together now. However.. I won't be driving anywhere, cos the fuel lines don't fit The first picture here is the R65. And you can see how the fuel line clips on. IMG_2202 by Jonny_Moore91, on Flickr And here's the R70. No way that's gonna fit IMG_2204 by Jonny_Moore91, on Flickr Anyone any thoughts? Could I use some fuel rated hose and jubilee clips? RE: R70 Issue... - cwspellowe - 25-10-2012 Can't you just cut the connector off the standard pipe and slide it over the R70 union? RE: R70 Issue... - Jonny81191 - 25-10-2012 it's plastic pipe, i think it'd just split.. RE: R70 Issue... - cwspellowe - 25-10-2012 I think you should try it first seen as that connector ain't fitting... heat ftw RE: R70 Issue... - samass - 25-10-2012 The fuel lines on our cars are pretty goddamn strong, even after soaking it in boiling water I still struggled to get a connector on. Hammer FTW I say RE: R70 Issue... - Poodle - 26-10-2012 The fuel hose i have on there was rubber in the first place... That's your third piston shut-off return to the tank so it shouldn't be under any real pressure if you unplug the solenoid, if you can get the plastic fuel pipe over the fitting it should hold until you get to a parts place. RE: R70 Issue... - darrenjlobb - 26-10-2012 Just use rubber fuel hoses / do away with that hard plastic crap...you wont get the plastic stuff to clamp down / seal very well, its not meant for that as its heat shrunk at the factory...
