Fuel line connections and Filter location...
Hello everyone!
Have been running my fuel lines today and all has gone well so far! But i have two.. no three questions.... 1) How do you guys go about connecting 8mm copper hard line to 8mm flex lines do you just use clips to hold the tube on the pipe? Was unsure if i should put some clever type of connection on there as its fuel injection rather than carbs. 2) Also anyone know any reason why i should not put my fuel filter in the top drivers side corner of my gearbox tunnel? See pic below. 3) Do guy guys think that this type of clip will be ok? also seeing that the fuel lines are P clipped nothing will be moving around. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-...item1c2d66216b Will be going down the garage tomorrow afternoon so any replies by then would be fantastic!

Bump.
Oh also bought some 8mm copper olives to solder onto the ends to give a good seal so that should be fine re the tube on pipe.

I just flared the ends of my pipe. i bought a flaring tool on ebay with about 5 seconds to go and when it arrived I realised it was metric. At least it came in useful for the fuel pipes!!

I also put a slight flare / bead on my copper fuel lines, then popped on fuel safe rubber hose and a jubilee clip. Still on the car and no leaks!

That's what I did, too. 8mm convex flare and hose clamps. Works fine.
As for the holder clips, if you pad them with something rubbery and clamp closed them with zip ties, they should hold the filter well enough.

Put the filter in the easiest place to replace it if you have to,once all the goodies are in place it might be a PITA to get at .
