Car Forum / Volvo Cars / August 2006b230F info about fuel line
Hello, I would like to know if the flexible tubing going from the fuel pump to the injection system has to be a high pressure tubing or not. After several years of good service it is starting to crack and has to be replaced. thanks, > Hello, > I would like to know if the flexible tubing going from the fuel pump to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > replaced. > thanks, The tubing is actually some special coaxial stuff (and, yes, it is high pressure... runs at up to something like 45 psi). Underneath the rubbery cover is a stiff plastic tubing. If you disconnect it at the fuel rail I think you can get a better look at it. My guess is it's only the rubbery jacket that is cracking. Mike Hello Michael! you could be right. It struck my attention because I had a leak in the gasoline hose going back to the tank. This seems to be a low pressure hose. This was easy to replace.

The high pressure line feeds fuel to the regulator which dumps it back to the tank through the low pressure return line as needed to maintain pressure. thanks for the info guys, I think I'll replace the high pressure hose right away to play it on the safe side.
