Default Fuel leak, fuel banjos available?

Pirtek made up a new banjo and braided fuel line with an adaptor down to the 8mm copper pipe for me.

£65 later and I’d fitted it. Unfortunately the leak was actually on the other, plastic, pipe end, FML.

Back to Pirtek, new banjo and flexible rubber hose £14 (including 1m of extra hose) and finally the leak was fixed.

Need to investigate properly in future. Doh!

The metal fuel line: This is flexible as Pirtek could not recreationte the old steel/rubber pipe.



The flexible fuel line:



And it all fitted up:



Really need to clean up the fuel pipe routes, replace them all in copper and get more fixing clip rubber guides.

Main thing is it doesn’t leak and runs a whole load better with the new fuel filter.

Just need all the fuel on my driveway to evaporate in this sun now!
