Fuel lines
Fuel lines
The solid fuel line that runs under the car has rotted through so i need to replace it. I believe it is 8mm. So am I right in thinking that I can use the copper pipe you get in B&Q for doing gas? So in Theory i can use the associated gas pie fittings to join old to new? Would a solder joint be ok for running fuel through or will the petrol react with the solder?
