Thread revival!
This weekend, after removing the lower panels to change the split offside rear brake pipe (the one that runs front to back of the car and then across) I noticed I've got the same issues as @semicolin. What did you use to sort it?
I'm thinking of removing all 3 fuel lines and replacing with some rubber hoses with jubilee clips. Unless there's a better way of doing it? I'm utterly refusing to shell out £200 for replacement pipes from Honda. And nor am I paying someone £300-£400 for them to do it. I'll be rolling around on the floor (as there's no way of getting it anywhere to stick it on a ramp) so that's going to be fun

If any of you need spares btw there's a few preludes over here for breaking?
Hondasource NI are main guys for hondas over here and would probably give forum discounts tbh

I cut out the section that was leaking and jubille clipped a fuel hose on. Won't be a permanent fix due to the overall condition of the lines though.
I'm more inclined to replace the lot after doing brake lines a few weeks ago. Really easy to flair copper pipes and the bending is a piece of body lemonade

Seems pretty common, my old Prelude did it where the fuel lines come down from the fuel pump behind the passenger side rear wheel (under a plastic cover).
I bought rubber fuel lines, cut out the old ones, installed the rubber ones using jubilee clips.

I'm not sure if petrol would corrode the the pipes but apart from that I'd think it'd be alright, brake pipes need to deal with more pressure.ek9sid wrote:Are they basically brake pipes? Because if so...happy days. Got an abundance of brake piping.
The only thing I question are the connectors and clips, they have a collar, looks a lot like the collars found on inline fuel filters on fords
