M42 fuel pipes?

[bennyboy]

im using loads of fuel at the mo with this new engine. i got 100 miles out of £20. However, when i stop, it stinks of petrol. are the pipes round the engine prone to failing?

could be the o-rings around the injectors, easy to replace

[stuartgallafant]

the pipes under the inlet manifold are prone to going

[Dan318-is]

The pipes in the engine bay themselves are fine; its a small 2 inch rubber connecting pipe that leeds from the fuel feed to the injector rail itself; the return one hardly ever perishes in my experience.

Number 15 is the leaking candidate!

I'm with Stuart on this, the rubber pipes under the inlet manifold always fail!

You have to remove the inlet manifold to change them, not a hard job to do....

ANY fifteen year old high pressure rubber fuel pipe is due for replacement.
