clear plastic diesel feed and return pipes

Post by malmoy »

I have the later filter and assume that one is the input from the tank, one a return from the inj pump and the other is a heater circuit? Either way one of the pipes is leaking at the filter. It’s very small and only shows after a long drive. My questions;

1. Where can I get the hard clear plastic pipes to and from the injection pump?
2. Do I have to use hard pipes or can flexible hoses be used assuming they can be connected properly?

Thanks, Mal.

P.S. I’m going to France next week, so all a bit of a rush.

I have used ordinary rubber pipes seems fine, only problem I have is from it pulling air in from tank but that is from having the wrong connector from the pump to filter and filter to fuel connector on bulkhead is absolutely adequate.
