Got stuck on how to get the fuel lines from the engine bay. The clips are too big to go through the hole they need to feed through and the other end is the same, so how the flipping he'll do I get them gone?!

I'm at this stage, minus the fuel tank vent thing.



Cheers

That's what I thought. I can't see them going through them lol. Could I not chop them all then use some connectors? Or is the presher in the system to much?

Can't you disconect them tank end, and pull them throught. Or you could cut the metal collar remove it and pull the rubber section off.

Did you unclip it just behind the bulk head and try and pull it through? Could be clogged up with thick mud or something. Or maybe your tunnel bit is bent in?

Can't think of anything else really.

Just to confirm, It was a bit tight on mine, That is the way to do it.

You wouldn't be able to use that kinda connector that you posted as the lines are metal lined. Could do it with rubber bits aswell but you're asking for problems then. Just FYI.
