Metering head fuel lines

moonwatcher · 22-09-15, 02:50 PM

I think somebody in the past has re-routed the fuel lines on my coupe Quattro and I'd like to tidy them up.
Can I disconnect at the metering head (one at a time) and re-route or not

that won't cause any problems - each line can go to any of the 5 outlets

Do them one at a time and don't forget to replace the crush washers with new one's to avoid any leaks

Unless you have some stock of new aluminium washers at hand, useless exercise. Original aluminium washers permits a lot of reuse and they are able to match the shape of surface rather well.

You know better than that msh

aluminium washers are crap, copper washers conform to shape and seal far more easily they are just a bit harder to find
