I have now been making a few fuel line and sort of got the hang of of it. It seams easy but it's fidderly too.
So mark out your pipe and cut with either a grinder or big metal cutters
Put tape areound befor you cut it helps to stop it from slaying out

I have plastic coated braided hose. So I need to cut that back about 6-8mm

The fittings are for teflon hose .

Make sure you have the right fittings for the type of hise your using. . The teflon ones have this olive to seal against the tubing

so started off take your tape off and slide the nut over the tube . Then open out the steel braiding.

then slide the olive on down to the shoulder of it

using the special tool to open out the tubing to make sure the fitting slides in is this special tool

you can get all differnt ends for different size and fittings then slide the rest of the fitting in to the tube

all the way to the end

then I bought these ally clamps to not scratch the fittings that fit on to the vice

Also these ally adjustable spanners too also so they don't scratch. And then tighten

A big thank you to fuelabs the the 2 low pressure intank pumps

an to torques for the 2 pick up pipes that go on to the tank and bulk head connections to suit
20250402_193351.jpg

So remove the old fittings
20250402_193952.jpg
and screw in the new ones
20250402_194035.jpg
the push the pipe on to the barbed end and on to the pump. Do this for both. And secure with the jubilee clips supplied

Just need to wire in. I have drilled and fitted a electrical gland for the wire to go threw.
When wired in I will refit the foam insert. And screw the top down..... might have to buy some fancy screws for that..🤔 off to eBay

Little mock up of the swirl pot. An8 outlet at the bottom. The two an2 on the side are the feeds from the 2 low pressure pumps in the tank. The fitting in the top in the return from the engine with a 1 way valve. A tee so it can go back in to the swirl pot. If not it over flows back to the tank...... hopefully
