Default Where's the Brit with the death wish?

If you read this message buddy, let me tell you, I've got what you need. It's the perfect fuel line for your car. It's not that substandard junk that Roger sells. It's even better then what Porsche ever created. Rated at over 4000 PSI this fuel line is the perfect compliment to the 400MPH 928 you are working on. And yes those are the proper metric fittings.


Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee this will fit on Brett's 16 valve engine but I know for a fact that it will work on the 32 valve cars.

Pressure rating isnt everything. Is the inner tube gasoline proof? If thats the hose that joins the two fuel rails at the front of an S4, it shouldnt be a hose, should be a rigid copper pipe- the slight offset means the inner of the hose is stressed against the tails inside at both ends.

"It's not that substandard junk that Roger sells"
What causes you to make a statement like this - I certainly do not sell substandard hose and fittings as they are rated far higher than the originals. They are the recognised standard for EFI systems and supplied by reputable suppliers manufatured to that standard. I ask that you retract that slanderous remark immediately.

Just for the record and to show how wrong you are the hose that I supply for the front connection is the actual hose from Porsche.

Whoa, something seems seriously wrong here? Maybe this is a joke that I don't understand. Has there been some problem with what Roger sells?

The hose in the picture is so rigid that it might as well be a rigid pipe.
This is a 2 or 3 wire SAE100+++? high pressure hydraulic line with a bend radious of maybe 10" on a good day.
So it will probably not form the S shape to clear the oil fill neck. As it has a number of wire plys in its makeup it will probably wear through the neck pretty quickly.

Rod,
If there is a problem with my EFI hose kits I am not aware of it. If there is I would like to know as well.

I think he is just joking about Roger :P

That is a hydraulic hose not a fuel hose. Plus if the fuel pressure ever got that high the fuel rails would either explode or pop off.

Yea when I read it I just assumed the crack about Rogers parts was dripping with sarcasm...
I figured someone else had questioned the quality of stock piping in relation to the car Bret was building, either that or I just didn't know what the joke was about. I never even considered it to be serious.

Not very well delivered now that I read it in another light. Someone reading it who doesn't know Rogers quality of service might think it was a serious slam.

and if it was...WTF?!?

I have to believe that JHowell was attempting a joke about the fuel line and 928RUS (Roger) parts. That line looks to be about 1" in diameter and if used for a fuel line would certainly provide more than enough volume for a 400mph run.

I think we all need sensitivity training.
