Technical Replacing Fuel Line - 96 Punto 75sx

[nuncetrader]

Hi there,

I need to replace the the fuel line that goes from the fuel pump (under backseat) to the fuel filter. I have sourced the fuel line with the right bango connection. Was just wondering if anybody has done this before and can offer some tips or the best procedure to do it?

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers

never had to change that pipe on a mk1 but i suspect you will need to drop the tank a bit for access. I would advise liberal application of penetrating oil and leaving it for a day to soak in before you try undo any bolt holding the tank up, you don't want to snap them bolts..!

Cannot strees how carfull you need to be with those bolts that hold the tank up. They snap really easily and I have never managed to undo all 4 without one of them breaking. However you do really need to drop the tank to replace the pipe.
