Fuel Pipe Routing Along The Floor

Post by e21Keith »

About to install my new fuel tanks and need to install the fuel lines first. I bought the pre-formed fuel lines from the dealer so they have all the bends in the correct places.
Unfortunately I didn't take note of how they routed along the floor together with the brake pipe. So I'm not sure which goes closest to the sill, feed, return or brake pipe?

Does anyone have some photos they could post for me please?

Had a look at mine, replaced my pipes years ago but car has never left garage yet, getting close though.. The fuel pipes are closest to sill, if you can set up the securing clips then the profiles should keep you right, as my tanks are fitted I cant properly see where they sit in that area but if you can Pm me with your email I can send photos that show the pipes in situ behind left front wheel area if thats of any help to you.

Thanks for that.

I eventually tracked down some useful pics on the interweb and checked the part numbers on the new lines against the EPK, so they are now all installed.
