extending fuel lines

[christoph]

Right i've gotta extend the fuel lines for my new 1.4 fuel rail as the previous spi ones are too short.

Will i be alright to get a two straight extenders like these

cut up some spare fuel line and clip them on with some jubilee clips for instance??

Or is there an even simpler way of doing it?

Id use the joiners in the link and join them using the joiners and some spare piping from a fuel line, you shouldnt even need a jubilee clip to hold it if the joiner is tight enough tbh

yeah those should do the trick, but definately use a jubilee clip to be safe!!!!

my fuel line popped off at the rail before and pissed petrol everywhere! took ages for the smell to go lol.

Better off to use proper fuel line clamps as the give an even clamping pressure.

Surely there no different. . . . ???

Still only connect at one point.

Nope, if you look at a fuel line clamp it kind of has two tangs it pulls in to tighten up, hard to explain but you will understand if you look at them
