All fuel hoses are made up of two laminations, an armoured rubber outer sleeve and an inner viton core. If any of the fuel system hoses have been
disconnected, it is imperative that the internal bore is inspected to ensure that the viton lining has not become separated from the armoured outer sleeve.
A new hose must be fitted if separation is evident.
Fuel system hose Clips
Certain fuel system hoses are of the 'break-off head' type, where a portion of the slot in the screw head shears off when the clip is tightened to a
predetermined torque. These clips may be removed using a screwdriver and must be replaced with a new clip of the same type. Clips must be tightened
until the portion of the slot shears off. Do not attempt to tighten clips by any other method.
Cooling system hoses
The following precautions MUST be followed to ensure that integrity of cooling hoses and their connections to system components are
maintained.
Hose orientation and connection
Correct orientation of cooling hoses is important in ensuring that the hose does not become fatigued or damaged through contact with adjacent
components. Where 'timing' marks are provided on the hose and corresponding connection, these must be used to ensure correct orientation. Hoses must
be pushed fully onto their connection points Usually, a moulded form on the stub pipe provides a positive indicator.
