jim21070 2 Posted January 5, 2007 You may be OK with copper but the pukka thing is available very cheaply from Autofive. These are thick-walled steel. I prefer to use the right stuff where high-pressure petrol is involved. It comes in a coil but is easy enough to bend to shape if you use the old pipes as guides. Take care to carefully recover the olive for the compression joint between the steel and rubber pipe that goes to the fuel filter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted January 5, 2007 I have some spare genuine metal pipe from peugeot enough to do both pipes, if it is of any interest to you, you can have it for what I paid + postage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer to use the right stuff where high-pressure petrol is involved. 8mm copper is rated to 200bar or so . iirc the 205 pump is only fit for 4 bar roughly . i could be completely wrong though.
