Brute indy mechanic used air gun to tighten the fittings to fuel filter on son's 83 245. Had to use one myself to get them off. In the process the nylon hose between the pump and the filter split in half. Tried to use some similar hose from the drain from the fuel filler (under the rear fender) to replace it. Used an industrial hot air gun, but it wouldn't work.
Went to local auto supply store, bought some "Fuel Injection Hose" made in USA by Gates (1/4" ID) plus 2 extra small clamps. The working strength is 100 psi, with 500 psi as bursting strength. I feel this would work. It could be replaced at every filter change for mimimal cost.
Any body else done this? What is the working PSI of the OEM Bosch fuel injection?
Gracias,
el Raidman
