iirc it's the green one. They are all the same from the bulkhead back to the rear bench.

Them from the rear bench it goes straight to the inlet of the fuel pump.

Hope this helps

I need the one from the actual engine all the way to the tank!
Im thinking i can probabaly use the serving fuel line off the westie for the 16v

hmm, what are the two pipes running down the passenger side of the car ?

Well the fuel pipes run together from the engine bay to the rear bench, the the return line goes to the fuel pump - and the sending line goes through the fuel filter to the fuel pump.

They run down the passenger side of the car.

Could use just normal fuel line but would be good to use oem connectors.

Basically the return line goes straight from the fuel rail to the fuel pump, might be able to just run some 6mm fuel hose, then connect some oem connectors on the way at the bulkhead and the rear bench.

If you have 2 pipes then you've already got the return line - check the fpr is in the engine bay to confirm.

Do they both lead to just to the side of the passenger strut on the bulkhead?

Yeh that's the fuel lines.

Fuel pressure regulator - it's like a flying saucer shaped thing with a small vacuum tube on the top of it.

You won't need to - just use your existing lines.

No theyve both been cut off from when the engine was taken out the old car :(

so they dont go anywhere near each other.

Got some pics this morning for some other things and reckon ive spotted them! running parallel - the two pipes above my thumb?

IRC there were 2 lines going down the passenger side of the car, does this mean i got fuel return line all read to plumb to the engine? Its a westcoast btw

do you have the 2 together? they will come across the bulkhead and onto your fuel rail so are easy to spot?

Mochachino

not sure, i think they were, il check later today. A westcoast dosent have a fuel return though do they, so the line in the car is just waiting there to be plumbed in i guess, IF its the fuel return line.

The return is the inner most pipe on the rail and on the pump its the pipe with the arrow pointing "in" to the pump...
