97 850 fuel pipes at intake manifold

Post by **scot850** » 19 Jul 2016, 16:57

I'm about to pull the intake on the 850 NA, and first thing I realise is you have to remove a crimped rubber hose. Can this be re-used or is the recommendation to replace it (Don't know if this was done at PCV service a 4-5 years ago). If so what is the recommended replacement? I believe the Volvo hose is a metric hose (7mm?). and it appears to be silly expensive for what it is. Are there suggested alternates?

Other hose is a 2 piece metal pipe so hopefully no issues there!

Thanks,

Neil.

I think most of mine had a quick release socket but that may have been on the supply line. The return line isn't under real tremendous pressure so it can be reused if it looks OK and just hose clamped on.

Thanks Lee. I'll just have to wing it and try just removing one of the oetiker clamps and see if I can tease the pipe off without damaging it.
