#1 Nylon Fuel pipe for S2

Post by eddiecross » Tue Jan 10, 2017 5:55 pm

Hi,
S2 Fuel pipes in the fuel tank area.

I see that Holden do 5/16" PVC pipe. Is this an acceptable equivalent to the original nylon pipe or is there a source of this pipe by the metre?

Thx

I would be wary about the durability of pvc with fuel . You can buy the nylon pipe - there is a young lady who turns up at spares days and sells it, and is very knowledgeable about how you fit it ( heat is a no-no) . It is worth doing an internet search, or if that fails try asking Andy Rayner at Hutsons 01924 669052
