valver fuel hose help

[samcourtney86]

Hello, my fuel feed hose split and needs replacing but Im not sure how i disconnect it at the fuel rail end as it seems to be crimped to a metal connection? Anyone know how i disconnect it to fit a new hose? Heres a pic, also am I right in thinking that the green circled hose is the fuel feed and the red is the return? Thanks, Sam

just snip it and replace with jubilee clips on the rail end,looks like there original fixings (quite rare) and yes flow and return is correct, unless you get the pipes trapped you cant get them beckwards anyway as one wont reach that far withough being stretched

no dont, those are special fittings.

The connector just needs to be sqeezed and lifted off, then pushed back on to replace.

Cut them and you'll get it fitted again.

when re-fitting make sure the o-ring is fitted perfectly or it will leak. Slide it down and then rotate slightly.
