Ok you will need 8mm internal diameter braided hose, i bought 2 meters for about £16

My hose is made by Sytec motorsport and was purchased from demon thieves,

I also bought those red hose finishers costing £4 each.

However if you look at your fuel rail inlet and outlet they are very close together meaning not much clearance for the finishers. I would advise getting some nice chrome hose clamps instead

Thanks for that mate,

do the hose finishers fit then as i think they look good usually, are they a good fit?

They fit fine but the screw that tightens the clamps would have ideally been hidden, but no room, so you have to rotate the clamp so that he screw is at the top and visable. Just abit annoying.

If you look at the pics you should see what i mean.

i will have to get some ordered then, any other tips upon fitting?

or is it relatively straight forward

[HAMMER_VR6 0]

Straight forward really.

Remove original hoses from fuel rail and bulk head. Only about half meter long.

Cut new hose to equal length. I used a cutting disc on a dremmel. Pliers seemed to damage the braiding.

Refit new hose.

Make sure you buy high pressure hose for fuel injected engine.

Low pressure is for cars running carbs

will have to have a go at swapping these, cheers for the info,

so are the fuel hoses pressurised or when the ignition is off is there minimal leakage?

[HAMMER_VR6 0]

there is a gru screw drain screw in fuel rail.

but minimal leakage anyway without fuel pump running. KEEP IGNITION OFF TO.
