sonofsam 5 Posted July 16, 2007 Hi, Have noticed my Semperit fuel hose from filter to fuel rail has started to perish with small cracks appearing on the outside really surprised this has started to occur What would you guys reccomend I buy to replace it? Can I use overbraided hose without finishers? Cheers Sam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted July 17, 2007 Can I use overbraided hose without finishers? I did Sam, just put a bit of fabric tape on it to stop it fraying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted July 17, 2007 Was that cotton or stainless steel overbraided? Thought your's was carbed anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) It is but didn't think it would make a difference. Was stainless and just assumed you wanted a way to stop it fraying. Edited July 17, 2007 by Jrod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 17, 2007 I used it on mine with injection, I just trimmed the overbraid back about 5mm so the end of it were under the jubilee. never had any problems at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted July 17, 2007 If its starting to perish I'd replace it with new fuel hose & then add the over braid to that if you want to. Once a hose has started to perish, especially on a high pressure fuel line imo its not a good idea to cover it rather than replace it. Espeically when you consider that proper braided brake lines still fail. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted July 17, 2007 Yes I will be replacing the complete line, not just overbraiding it J, I just assumed different rating's of hose for injection v's carb. Cheers for the replies fella's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 75 Posted July 17, 2007 Yup its differant for carbs/injection. motor factors sell it, just mesure the inside diameter. (I/D) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted July 17, 2007 My local car shop supllies the black cotton overbraided stuff, will nip in on friday and see what he can do for me. I know what the ID's are, they are different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
