Hi all,

I?m in the process of fitting LH2.4 to my 1975 245, and still have the fuel pipe to sort out.

I have some 12mm hose for the tank end, but I?m unsure how to join this to:

A) The fuel rail, as the fuel rail has a screwed connection and I can?t seem to find any adapters
B) The fuel filter - as the ones I?ve found are for 12mm banjo fittings, which I can?t find in anything above a 10mm hose inlet.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

John
 
I am going through this with an in-tank pump upgrade from the low pressure to high pressure and eliminated the external high pressure pump. I am using the same model as this thread:

12mm high pressure line from tank to stock fuel filter under car ~ 6 feet.
14mm to 1/2 barb to connect to the filter, then stock line from filter to fuel rail.

I don't know the size of the line from filter to fuel rail, but it is smaller than 12mm and hard plastic. The 14 x 1.5 connection is hard to find, I have an extra off a fuel rail I got at the junk yard. This line will also need to be high pressure capable. I have heard Earl's 9894dbh would fit the rail, but the connection is -6AN.

The nylon tube inside the rubber hose from filter to fuel rail is about 3/16 inch ID. Make sure the intank pump has a check-valve at the outlet.
