Can someone give some advice on puttting together a new fuel line system on a
1971 Sprite
The PO had dismantled this car so I have very little to go on.
I have a new petrol tank fitted (with fuel level sender unit) at one end of
the car and a set of carbs to go at the other end. That is all, nothing in
between !
I have rebuilt the original electric fuel pump and tried it out pumping
parrafin; works OK. It has a rubber sleave around the pump, but no bracket
for mounting.
I understand that it has to be fitted under the car, somewhere near the rear
shock mounting.
Can someone explain :
a) the route taken by the pipes;
b) the size of pipe to use;
c) material - copper? modern synthetic (fireproof?) plastic?
d) any thoughts about mounting the fuel pump in the engine bay where I can see
it and it won't get covered in road crud ?
All humane advice welcome !
Guy
