Is there any reason that I should not use copper tube for splicing gas line? I'm not sure if gas does magical things to copper so I figured someone in here should know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I layed my fuel line around the front of the engine thinking "it has a perfect little shelf to rest on." (dumbshitmove) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Well... too much slack and it vibrated down on to the fan pully & scored a nice little leak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The 1.7 I had in there didn't have as much exposed pully area but this 2.0 sure does. I'm moving it away from that place of residence real fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) .........b |

Thanks for the offer Kerry but I have a 1" "T" piece along with a complete set of stock fuel rails. Just didn't want to cut them up or try to plug the "T".
The piece of copper I wanted to use is but 1" long. Just enough to get rid of the hole & shorten the hose line a wee bit. Been thinking of using the T and move my Pressure guage to the fire wall. That would make more room around the MPS where it is now... Hmmmm...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) if I can find that lil' screw that goes back in the original "T" I'd be set! I may even have an extra. Thanks for the tips guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) .......b |
