    Get some SAE 30 R9 rated fuel line and replace the lot if you don't know how old it is. Use proper fuel line clips, not jubilee clips.
    Clamp the old line below the tank then you can remove all the lines from the engine bay and make up another set without the filter. Make up one for the tank outlet with the filter in then change it quickly whilst not getting petrol in your eyes or ears!

    You could of course just leave it; it'll probably be fine. Or it won't.
     
  13. if its got to be moved then i'll have to pay someone to do it, simple as. :( its going for its mot on Monday, it's the first since 2007.... so scared...
     
  14. You really do need to do something about your fuel one, fellah. You need to find out what that hose chafing against where it comes through the chassis (you should actually have a metal fuel line coming through the tinware, and the filter under the fuel tank). Check the hose isn't draped over the transmission under the van.

    Mate I reckon your having a giraffe - lot of tech speak there - green nahh - wind up maybe?
     
  16. and don't smoke while you're doing it;)
    Seriously though, as everyone who's ever owned one of these buses will tell you, having old petrol pipe and fittings flopping about in a hot engine bay, next to red hot exhausts and whirling fan belts and pulleys isn't good...Think you know this already TBH
     
  17. ok I think i'm getting the jist, your all talking about the fuel filter, the black hose that is going under the coil and behind the dizzy (in the pic)
    1. i'm asumming its not the correct hose, is this right?
    2. remove the fuel filter altogether from the van?
    3. I need to trace the hose back to the tank and replace with a fuel hose?
    4. then connect the hose from the tank to the underside of the fuel filter bypassing it altogether?
     
  18. @vanorak, I honestly have no mechanical background or knowledge, these replies are helping me

    You need a filter, just not in the engine bay.
     
  20. ok so everything except get rid of the filter was correct?
