[urq] URQ fuel pump?

[audiqtrocp at aol.com]

Dennis, I'm part way through a 2 1/2 week work trip but Im almost sure I have one of those hoses in new unused condition in one of my boxes-o-goodies in the garage.  I don't want to hold up your progress, but I'd be glad to check for you this weekend once Im home.  To clarify, its the pump-to-accumulator hose, right?

Steve;
Thanks for the response.
I would prefer to use that tubing. Is it available only from dealers or would 
Napa and such have it as well?

Dennis, 
Are you talking about the plastic line or the steel line? Either can be made up 
up. The plastic is pretty much the same as the fuel lines used on the newer 
Audis (and pretty much all cars for that matter). Cut the old stuff off the 
metal fittings carefully so as not to nick the barbs and duplicate it with the 
new plastic line. It can be heated and formed with a heat gun. I deal with a few 
repair shops that do/did this on a fairly regular basis. Old Porsches or other 
cars use the plastic lines for CIS injection. 
 
The metal hard line can be bent and formed pretty easily. I have the double 
flare tool needed for the ends. 
 
The other option is to make up what you need from AN lines.  
The pump is easy. Pretty much any external pump made for fuel injection can be 
made to work. 034 sells a kit I believe using the Bosch O44 pump. There is also 
a Walbro that is commonly used.
