So here's some thoughts and questions about fuel lines .
I'm replacing all the fuel lines , and I'll be using 8mm ss .
Main reason for this is the AAN conversion , they need to be re-routed anyway , and
the originals are in very poor shape .
The cis has a pressure accumulator , wich the efi doesn't .
It's easy to keep it , it's just as easy to simply remove it .
It could also be replaced with something like the mushroom shaped damper found on
top of the intrank pump systems , like the fi S4 .
Fuel pump and tank will remain original for now .
The later cars have a carbon cannister wich catches and stoes the tank vapours instead of venting them to ambient .
I 'de like to keep that feature .
Meaning I have to add a third line to the fuel system from the tank vent to the carbonn cannister .
The S4 has a 6mm line for that .
I don't have the room for it on the urq , but a smaller line , like a brake line would be possible .
Any opinions on this ?
This car will have a bi fuel system .
In a later stage the fuel tank will be replaced by a propane tank , and I 'll add a small emergency
petrol tank . That one will most likely have an intank pump .
