Fuel pump fuel lines and injectors

[jerzybondov]

So as most of us know, my main fuel pump line ruptured on Friday on my way up to Norfolk. I would like to replace it to avoid the same thing happening in future. But is there a more local alternative to buying one from Ed? Is it possible to get a braided one complete with banjo attachment and hard line screw bit at the other end?

And what's the deal with injectors? Surely it's possible to cross ref those - Bosch something or other? If they're on a million Volvos you've got to be able to get hold of them...

Injectors are a very common item - no problem getting these from any motor factor

Bosch 0437502022 - although they are not cheap!

If you are just looking for a quick answer, then it is this: Phone KMI: http://www.kmipetrolinjection.co.uk/ - they will (usually) have them in stock - use that part number.



I don't think the pipes Ed sell have fittings already attached. It is just a piece of fuel line. I know Jason has a braided hose there, not sure who else? Currently there is not a UK supply of these "ready made". But IMO something definitely worth looking into (Julian)

Spoke with Julian about this already and said I would send the ones I removed from my car so he could use them as a sample

Great idea guys ... Im assuming your old hoses are OEM so that the banjo will be the correct 'depth' Matt

Not sure if they are or not. They are orange if that helps lol

[bozzzydmc]

LOL orange ... not stock then

As long as there is plenty of thread on the banjo for the dome nut to go back on they sound OK

I know on Gez's split hoses the banjo was pretty thick / high making the nut not go all the way down like it should

Where were thoses hoses from Gez ?

[jerzybondov]

The hose on mine that split came from Martin G. It was complete with banjo etc...

Just spoken to Ken Mills - new injectors are £42.50 a pop. Better than the 61 Euros from Ed but still not cheap! I think I'll take mine out again and do a bit of a test on them to get an idea for how many I actually need, rather than splashing £250 on a set...

[arranj]

£250 on a set...

Yes, that is too much!

[jerzybondov]

Thanks Arran. The sharpness of your wit would be lost on many

Also just spoke to Braydon Motors - the Volvo specialist that I found my engine from. They say they've got no second hand injectors, although new ones can be sourced from Volvo Classic Car Parts at £72.50 + VAT each, and Bosch in Germany at £55 + VAT each. So Ken Mills is definitely the place to get them from if you need them!
