Hi all,

I have an '82 Lux and need to replace the two fuel hoses that go from the pump to the filter and the filter to feed line.

OPC are quoting £130.00 plus delivery for the pair :shock:

Porscheshop have the pump to filter one, but not the other one.

The nearest Pirtek is 30 miles away.

So, does anyone have any old ones that I could buy or borrow so that I can get some made up, before I try and take mine off with potentially drastic circumstances?

Thanks

Do you mean the lines that go from the pump to the accumulator then to the hard fuel lines?

If so I bought this when I replaced the accumulator and broke the original pipe due to rust:

I think the guy used to do the other pipe as well so might worth dropping him a message?

Thanks

Rich who runs the store above is one of the good guys. I'd give him a call. If you can provide both hoses he can make you new ones based on a pattern.

The one thing to bear in mind with the OPC parts is that they come with a 2 year warranty and they'll arrive quickly. I myself would trust either Rich's or OPC's over Pirtek in all honesty.

Great. Thanks for your help.
Have sent Rich a message.

Update:
Rich came straight back to me , but couldn't help.
So, ordered the genuine ones from Exeter OPC and now all ready for Beaulieu.
