Default Marlin Fuel lines.

Hi Guys.

I bought the Marlin fuel lines. The yellow plastic pipes etc.

I have joined the front and back rubber fuel lines using the yellow plastic one's Marline supplied. It's a tight fit. But do I secure with jubilee clips. Was not sure as I did not want to crush the yellow pipe.

Cheers

A picture I took of a car mid-build at Marlin's workshop:

The fuel hose has a jubilee clip (or similar) on it.

As an aside - the pipe must have a very small bore, after the wall thickness is subtracted from the ID of the rubber hose!

I agree, the yellow hoses have a very small bore. Under heavy acceleration they might restrict flow. I got another set of nitrile lined rubber and used a length of the yellow hose for my brake servo...
