Plastic fuel regulator pipe to injector hose damaged
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 6:36 am
When replacing one of the short rubber fuel injector hoses (the lower one that joins to the plastic tube from the regulator) I managed to cut into the plastic just the other side of the copper insert - if that makes sense....
It looks like replacing the plastic tube could be a whole load of work and involve a new fuel regulator assembly?
Any ideas on a fix would be appreciated, thought of trying to push the new injector hose beyond the split plastic and then clamping but that would be beyond the copper insert which I guess may cause yet more problems....
Now kicking myself for my dumb handiwork and not realizing what cutting into the old hose might lead too (disaster!)
Cheers
