DIY fuel pipe repair

In detail: DIY fuel pipe repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Guys, the question is now !!
What is the third pipe, the one on the bottom, is it gasoline vapor ??
in the service they poured it for me, I went for a year, now there is also a crack, I will also do repairs))
What happens if you ride with a fool? (loss of power or something else, rough work of the engine.)

Hi, my fuel line is leaking (or whatever is correct there).

I walked around the forum, it was decided to repair (the price of new pipes is from 7.500 - a set)
1. We buy al. tubes from 2101-06 = issue price 135r
diameter as we have 8mm
2. We buy a fuel hose, inner diameter is also 8mm = 60r
Here's what happened, the hose swells slightly .. which is not very good !!
It was decided to replace it with a reinforced fuel hose = it costs about 500r (has not changed yet)

I want to note that the tube from 2101 is much stronger, the wall thickness is about 1mm !! on VAG about 0.3mm, bends and breaks with one go, you can't bend ours like that !!

Maybe someone will come in handy with my advice - to repair only with a reinforced hose.
The one in the photo has a thickness of about 3mm at the walls, and still inflates slightly.

Option 2 (almost final)
Looks "like from a factory"))

Now nothing is inflated !!
I made the pipes almost end-to-end, brought them close inside the hose and spread them slightly by 0.5 cm
Hose GOST 10362-76 (inside the hose is reinforced with nylon fibers, just like in VAG)
8 × 15 0.98MPa

9.8 bar (very large stock))

Option 3 (final)
3 factory collars were ordered (put it on - take it off)) numbers N 907 683 01
those that are now will be replaced (LIGHTHOUSE, IMHO quality !!)

How to pull the quick release plastic fuel pipe?

It is necessary to make such a connecting fuel line, but I cannot pull the pipe onto the quick-release fitting, I warmed it with an industrial hairdryer, but the tube only begins to gather and melt into an accordion, but does not expand in any way, I tried boiling water - not an option at all, maybe someone faced such a problem ?

Cut the end of the pipe lengthwise by 1-2 cm so that the petals come out, which can be captured
pliers.

Fitting in yews. Work with an assistant. The assistant warms up the pipe with a hairdryer, you use pliers
by the petals you pull it onto the union. In this kind of work alone, the problem is
that if the pipe is already soft, then it does not put on - it bends into a polka dot. Here it is for the petals
to pull.

Put a “circular” nozzle on the hair dryer, which gives such a swirl that the pipe heats up evenly
from all sides. Set the temperature of the hair dryer to medium, because this plastic does not warm up well
and at high T, it will burn out on the outside, and inside it will be still cold.

I will try to give a small but useful advice if you have a diesel engine!
What to do if the high-pressure pipe (140-160 atmospheres), going from the injection pump to the nozzles, breaks off!
Foreword:
I'll tell you how 3 days ago I saved Estima's driver from imminent evacuation due to a broken pipe on the injection pump.
With a friend we went from Bryansk to Kaluga to see the estimate, a friend got the idea to buy it, and agreed with the seller to meet on the neutral strip. We arrived a little earlier than agreed, began to wait for him! We observe such a picture - the estimate is going in our direction, and behind it is an incomprehensible fog , taxied at the gas station, refueled, and themselves looked under the bottom. We fooled from such a picture, and they even more. Image - DIY fuel pipe repair
