Dave Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Went out in the car yesterday could smell fuel took it to my friends shop this morning put it up in the air and the pipe had gone on the plastic bracket by the rear wheel cut out the rusty bit and replaced it with rubber,the condition of the pipes that are not on the brackets are like new,so my tool box now contains a metre of rubber fuel pipe and small jubilee clips ,a jr hacksaw ,going to replace the whole lot with rubber fuel pipe when the weathers better .

Bobbeh Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Yeah, thats a common area for fault to occur on older Supras. Good to get it fixed as the last thing you want is a fire damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Mine went there to and the other areas looked mint when removed to, also the brake line goes there to, id get it back up and check that? I wouldnt do the whole lines in rubber, road debris and salt will soon take the rubber lines 'out' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 If it's the pressure line to the rail that's leaking, and not the return from the regulator, I would NOT use rubber hose and clips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It will mean dropping the fuel tank to fit new hard pipes, which in itself is fraught with the risk of broken fasteners. If it's the pressure line you can replace from tank top unit to fuel filter with -6 Teflon lined braided stainless hose and proper compression fittings. No need to disturb the tank then.
