My leak off pipes for the injectors have started splitting. Today I trimmed four ends off temporarily as diesel/veg was literally dripping into a puddle over night.
Can anyone recommend any slightly better quality ones through eBay or whatever?
They've only been on the car since 26/10/2011 so seems the cheapo eBay ones I currently have aren't up for the job!
Any help appreciated!
buy it from local motor factors and cut to size you may find the kits are slightly shorter so puts stress on them so you can route them better i get the rubber with like a braid finish to it, cheap as chips from your local place and use a bolt in the blank end
Meh, may well have to. Don't suppose anyone remembers the size piping?
I used 3mm for mine and has done it a treat.

Sounds like you didnt use fuel rated ones? I never have issues with mine and always reuse..
3mm? Cheers Darren.

Dunno to be honest Dave, bought them off eBay when Lobb did my Bosch conversion. Pretty sure I went for cheapest ones I could and can't remember any spec.
there's some stainless steel braided hose for £4.49 on flebay nut that's for half meter
Why you would get uprated leak offs I dont know, its not something that would provide any benefit

I find the cheap braided ones need replacing often, id be interested in a decent set just so I don't have to keep faffing with them.
I replaced one set when I fitted my bosch setup as I figured it made sense, and since then they have been removed and re-fitted for 2 engine changes and 2 head swaps, still re-using the same ones, no leaks, no issues........................
Maybe I'm just unlucky or they weren't fuel rated (but I'm sure they are).
Got some new ones which are diesel/fuel rated from my local motor store. Should be all right!
Any final on this?? i'm looking to buy some and also bought the cheap braided ones, and have last about 3k before giving up the battle.
are there any decent parts on eGay?
Hydraulics place.... like £0.79 a metre.... and its been fine for like 3 years with many injecotr changes....
Hydraulics place? is this the same place you linked to someone about airintake parts on a different thread??
Halfords sell 1m length with 2 block off caps for a couple of quid, they seem to be fine!
