Fuel return line replacement.

[x MadMAX DIESEL]

Where can I find the make or something similar to our stock (1/8) return hose that comes off the injectors? Grainger doesn't have anything. Summit has a 1/8 fuel line but I'm not sure if my fuel will eat through it. Easy to find vacuum hose that small but not so much fuel line (or any other hydraulic line that might work fine)

All season diesel has individual pieces of the return line and fittings.

I want several feet of it, not just little pieces though

Fuel shop maybe. Merchant Automotive.

Do you mean like a tune up shop for cars? Anyone know how long those hoses are in the kit? I thought it was cut up more then that, might work for my application actually.

That is the maker of the kit from DirtyHookerDiesel. They can prob hook you up with as much as you need.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but why wouldn't you go down to Napa and ask for some fuel safe hose in the appropriate size?

Went to autozone and oreillys. Called grainger even after that. Everyone's smallest is either 3/16, or 1/4... They all have the correct size washer fluid, vacuum hose but I'm afraid the fuel will eat through. Causing a leak, or even gumming up the rest of the fuel system.

You're right, don't use any of those non fuel safe hose! I would call Napa, in my experience neither Oreilly's nor Autozone have much of a selection for stuff like this. I would also imagine 3/16 and a clamp would work perfectly fine.

Yeah I thought about that. But it was a tough hose, if it was a more plyable material I'd do that. Ill try napa, car quest and koi tomorrow. If not ill call that website possibly

I have had good luck at Volkswagen dealers parts counter.... They usually have a spool of the good stuff (braided cover) for diesel return line.

It would be easier to see how much fuel each injector is returning.

Got some at vw, thanks everyone for the replies. Runs 16.70 a meter for anyone wondering. It is (atleast what I got, imagine its all the same though) alittle bigger then our stock. Think it will be fine though. If ours is a true 1/8th, this is 5/32, either that or it's just new soft and more plyable lol

The vw stuff is great also another place that carries the same kind of good line (braided cover etc) is most any mercedes shop. The Benz line is gray in color too haha
