DannoSupra Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 My car's in the bodyshop as we speak now, and im putting trial rear on, now im changing fuel pipes from tank to front. Do i need to drop the tank? If so i'll have to do it all now before the trial rear is mounted (with bonding the sides) Or, has anyone ran fuel pipes inside the car, on a road car before? Thats the only option ive got really, all braided of course Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ok cheers! Been told you can slip braided down without dropping the tank at all! It would put my respray on hold otehrwise! Thanks Again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I got my braided hoses in place without droppping the tank. The pipe pushes down fairly easily. I removed the plastic cover which covers the pipes under the car, removed the original pipe then tied my new pipe in the same place then refitted the plastic cover. You may need to trim some clips on the plactic cover to get it in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 It would depend on the thickness of the fuel pipe you're fitting, a -6 should be able to get through without removing the tank, but anything larger will be more tricky. It's actually very easy to drop the tank down, just 4 or 6 (can't remember exactly) bolts to losen off and it'll drop down far enough to give some clearance.

paul mac Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 dont forget with braided hose to make sure its well secured, if it touchs anything and flaps about it acts like a saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
