Which fuel line should i get?
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d3e476bed5.jpg
Hi, I torn my intake fuel line when dismantling the engine so i need a new one. Anybody knows for sure which one i need? ( i have a manual '79 euro spec): Is it the 928 110 501 00 or 928 110 501 02? Thanks in advance! |
Did you break the fuel feed line or the return line? #12 is the feed line, #13 is the return line...The feed line on my '83 K-jet car does not make a 90* bend in the body connection end as shown in the diagram.

Did you tear one of these?

This one, the fuel feed:

Not sure if i could bend it back. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...2009bc389e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...988487acdf.jpg |

Thanks Rob for the suggestion, already contacted Mark last week and they are not longer available. Also not longer available new as i understand from my local Dutch supplier. I will look around hope to find one. If anybody has another idea let me know :)

You could try:
https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...-euro-5sp.html Or this guy was parting a 78 euro https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...ompressor.html Good luck |
I'm sure a Pirtek or local equivalent could make you a line copying you old damaged one. They've done it for people in the past with other fuel hard lines.

Time to call 'The Plumber'
I kinked the same fuel line in the same place, so I think I got the last one 928Intl. had...LOL The fuel line I got from 928Intl had a 90* bend at the flex line end ( see pic #1) I cut off the straight end that I needed from my damaged line and spliced it to the one I got from 928Intl. I made the splice where the clamp holds the line to the intake tube...I used a 2" piece of stainless steel tube to sleeve the splice and 57% silver solder to solder it all together...NO LEAKS when running 5.5 bar (79Psi) system pressure!!
I still have the curved end I cut off...( See Pisc #2 & 3) If you can't get a complete fuel line, maybe you can do what I did. If you want to try my kind of fix, PM me and I'll cut off the male coupling and drop the tube in the mail to you..https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...647e815fab.jpg 928 fuel line on top,and My kinked line, still attached to the car. I had to cut the 928Intl line and splice it to mine.. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...581b7ca58c.jpg the end I cut off..I left enough straight tubing so it would be 'useful if needed' elsewhere.. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...5e80a35d10.jpg If the flair end is the same as the F.D. end, maybe you can splice it in ...I'll cut off the male nut with my Dremel & mail it out to you... |
In critical cases it's hardly impossible to form and flare these sections from new tubing. I'd hesitate to recommend thin-wall stainless process tubing for this only because getting the flares right without cracking is a challenge. I'd have to shop some for the CuNiFer (copper-steel-nickel) tubing in that size (10 and 12mm it appears, confirm with measurement), but that would be perhaps the best instant choice if it's available. It bends easily with readily-available hand-held DOM tubing benders, and bubble-flares pretty easily without cracking. No need for additional plating for corrosion protection with that -- polish and clear-coat if you want. Or start with galvanized steel fuel line tubing, and have it replated in original CAD after it's all formed up and ready.

We did get a 78 in but that line was NGhttps://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...239412d1b5.jpg

Is there enough demand for that line to tool up a little and make some? Was casually looking at the 10mm cunifer tubing. at $1-2.50 per foot depending on how it's purchased. Have the bender. Probably need to invest in a better (correct) bubble flaring tool ($200-400). Also need to ID the two fittings. How long is that line section?
For those maybe a little less picky, better POLAPS may have something usable (zinc-galvanized) for the tubing. Reuse existing fittings. Then work on the flares. |
