Hi there i was wanting to know how to replace the fuel hose to the cold start injector. I had to replace another fuel line in the engine bay (Alfa 75) that had split and noticed the cold start injector fuel hose has multiple cracks in it, so guess its not far off spitting fuel everywhere too! But it doesn't have hose clamps at each end, its attached to the fuel rail, crimped? into it without a hose 'clamp' so how do you change it? or do you have to buy another fuel rail????? this must be a common problem because of the bend in this fuel hose and age etc
Hows it done?
Thanks Matt
Matt the end of this hose that connects to the rail is on a push-on"barb" connection just like the injectors.You need to use a small xacto knife or scalpel and cut the line on a diagonal making sure that the blade goes deep enough to cut the end of the line.Twist the fuel line and it will come off.Make sure that you don't cut grooves in the metal barb while doing this.
When you cut the replacement make sure you get the length perfect because if it's too long you won't be able to get the plenum to seat properly and if it's too short your connections won't seal properly,thats assuming you're doing it this way which I find better than removing the cold start injector and trying to squeeze it back in
