fuel line hose replacement


Recommended Posts

Just curious, has anyone replaced that circled fuel line with an auto store bought fuel line hose ( not a Porsche replacement part) ?

If so, what is the size of fuel hose diameter? Is there a particular type of fuel hose that I could use as a replacement?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. I think that non removable specialty hose is about $150-$200. Would a fuel line hose from any auto part store work? Has anyone tried it?

 

The specialty hose is nowhere near that expensive, but not commonly found in auto parts stores.  It uses special barbed fittings that require no clamps to hold the hose on the fittings.  And no, you cannot use common auto parts hose in its place, the hose will blow off and spew gas all over your hot engine, resulting in an instant Viking funeral for your car.

 

Either get the correct hose, or buy the entire assembly from Porsche; your car and insurance company will thank you.
