Default fuel line pipe/hose to FPR

Looking for a vender source for a new fuel line pipe/hose from the fire wall barbed connection point to the intake FPR on the passenger side of the motor. My usual sources: Welsh, XKs Unlimited, SNG Barrett are all showing not available.

If none found what are other viable alternatives, e.g. straight hose to the fuel rail?

Hi Brad

I would think your local Hydraulic Shop could easily make you one up

Do you have the "old" hose assembly? It's not that difficult to remove the old hose from the fitting and replace it with standard 5/16" EFI hose.

In the picture below, the bottom hose still has the hose and collar attached. If you carefully remove the collar (I like to slice it with a Dremel, then pry it off) you can slide the old hose off. That's what's at the top of the picture. You can just slide a new 5/16" hose on.

Or this path Brad.

After I did this, I moved the fuel filter from the boot to the RHF corner of the engine bay, and altered this hose to suit that.

One less fuel odour source in the boot.
