Eriedor Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Looking at replacing fuel hoses with Ethanol resistant ones, but I have no idea what connector this is (connects to fuel filter inlet hose) which I'd need to fit to one of the new hoses.

SM25T Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Carefully cut through that thin metal collar and remove it. Then simply refit the new 8mm bore hose to that old end fitting using a new petrol clamp. Not a jubilee clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 You can do this for all of the hoses with any sort of captive end fitting. Just use a Dremel or small hacksaw to cut through most of the end cap, then a flat screwdriver to break it open, being careful not the damage the hose tail inside. The hose simply pushes on.

revilla Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's a M14 x 1.5 "Saginaw" Inverted Flare Swivel, but it requires a 25mm deep threaded cuff in place of regular 15mm cuff. They're very hard to find, certainly the UK. I think there's better availability in the US. I would suggest doing as Ian says above, it's what I did. Once you split the collar and remove the hose you'll find a perfectly normal barbed fitting underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's about £20 from Redline for a new made up with the connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriedor Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Great thanks for the info. I've ordered some SAE R9 hose and fuel line hose clamps and will follow Ian's advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 You can do all of the flexible hoses on a k-series with less than 2m of hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 R14 is the hose spec you require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
