Fuel Line
« on: August 21, 2010, 09:37:03 pm »
Does anyone know where to get the fuel line that attaches from the fuel filter to the hard metal return line in a 1981 rabbit 1.6n/a?  The rubber hose is cracked bad and I don't what to splice in a connector piece, I would much rather replace the entire line.
Thanks

You can replace just the rubber part..   IIRC it's 5/16" fuel line..  Although I'd opt for something made with viton or nitrile like low pressure hydraulic hose, or high pressure fuel line (for EFI)..    You'll have to grind/cut the crimp that holds the rubber to the banjo fitting that attaches to the filter..   THen just use a regular ole hose clamp to re attach..   It shoudl already just be clamped to the fuel line on the car..

Thank you.  I guess I'll go the 7mm Autohausaz.com route.  I have to order a radiator for my 1981 1.6n/a and a couple of oil filter housing gaskets, I'll just add to the order.
