SankysVR6 1 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 The hose from my FPR to the inlet manifold has split at the end So i cut it down a little to get rid of the damaged area but i couldn't get the clips off the hose.I've put a couple of cable ties to hold it as tight as i can until i can get a new piece of hose from the dealers. Is this going to be safe to drive like this, there isn't going to be a load of fuel coming out here is it. Link to post Share on other sites

SankysVR6 1 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Its the hose that comes off the silver circle thing on the fuel rail, I think its the fuel pressure regulator.To late for Halfords now as it will be closed, could try a petrol station to see what they have.I think i might have damaged the hose slightly when i took the manifold off for polishing. As i just pulled it off with clips on. Link to post Share on other sites
