Where's a guy to get injector return lines on Sunday?
 
Getting close to wrapping my little project up but of course discovered I have no injector return lines. Went to the local O'Reilly's and no can do. Kinda was hoping to give it a go tomorrow.

Thoughts? Any other "chain" FLAPS that might carry it?

Any hose Should work as long as it fuel Rated and will fit over the nipples on the injectors, you have to plug the one on the end though.

I do have a terminal end. Happen to know the ID of the correct hose? Thanks Aqua!

Rubber fuel line should work, has to be a certain mm but I am not sure what. you shouldnt need more then a few feet of it

Funny, I did a key word here and nothing came up. Googled outside of the boards just now and got this: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/archive/index.php/t-205196.html

I have used regular Vacuum Hose and that will last 1-2 weeks before it gets eaten up.
I have also used one section1/8 inch Silicon Vacuum Hose and it lasted a Year until I needed to remove it. It had turned Rock Hard.

Injector return hose plastic tube
The brand I used is Oregon, it is a Tygon fuel hose.
Tygothane (Saint Gobain is the Manufacturer)
U.S. Plastics is the retailer.
I have seen the Oregon (chainsaw) Tygon Fuel Hose sold at Oreilly's Autoparts where the Lawn Mower Filters and stuff are. The guy I got the info from never said the size.

NAPA
 
On a Sunday? NAPA might have the hose.

1/8" Fuel Hose
 
Plain old 1/8" fuel hose from Napa or any auto parts store. The original hose is 3.2mm which equals 1/8in.

any lawnmower/chainsaw repair shop should have hose that will work too.
I bought a 50' box of 1/8" tygon clear fuel hose and the stuff holds up for about 3 years.
cost me like 15.00

Is that how long it lasts if you only use Diesel Fuel.

Thanks for the ID; got it in my notes now.

vstech 09-02-2011 02:52 PM

yeah, I only use diesel... maybe B20 on occasion.

For future reference, any hardware store pretty much.

Home Depot. Lowes etc all carry weed eater fuel line. It wont last forever but it will last long enough to get the proper stuff from FastLane etc.
