c20xe fuel rail - return hose question.

[dc1984]

I am after some info again,
This time i`m looking to replace the metal joint bit between the new rubber hose and the fuel rail but unsure what the thread is or what to ask for?

Is it the bit thats threaded on both ends your after, 1 end screws into the rail and hose screws onto other end? If so ive got one here if you have no luck finding one.

[dc1984]

Aye mate thats the bit. The original bit was swaged on to the hose.

If you never sold the gearbox out the astra i might need that of you aswell so can bring 1 through with me.

[dc1984]

Yeah ave still got that box mate, forgot to give you that tyre last time you were through buddy.

Whats up with the pipe or do you just not have it?

[dc1984]

The rubber hose was badly perished mate, I thought if I had just cut the outer swaged bit I could just put the new hose over the inside pipe bit and use a jubilee clip on it but the fuel is p#ssing out of it under pressure.

i took my fuel rail to pirtek mate, they drilled an tapped new fittings in with pipes because i lost my pipes. a week later i found them lol cost me about £25

Keep the factory metal fitting. Cut the old hose off and replace, there are pics in my rebuild thread.

gona say i just cut the outer pipe off and replaced it with some new pipe and a decent clip and never had no issues

I replaced the pipe on my 205 gti (same rail setup) with no issues,cost £2

Thats what I tried benn but where the pipe section joins the nut section the fuel sprays out the joint. The hose is tight on the pipe.

Get new pipes off an Ecotec in the scrappy, they're a bit shorter but you can extend the pipes then with barbed connectors, jubilees and new pipe.

No rush for the tyre, if you have one when im needing it for the car going back on the road i'l get one of you then mate!
Will give you a shout about gearbox when i know i can get through again. :thumb:

Use fuel system jubliee clips. They do up round so to speak. Give a better join.
