carld Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi Guys Can anyone tell me where I can get hold of a replacement step down hose which brings the size of the bosch fuel pump down to the size of the fuel line, on my set up it looks like a piece of garden house.

Jersey Royal Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Dont get it Carl. Bosch pump connects to prv, no step down required. What am I missing? Cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carld Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Guy Just read it back, not the best, pipe from tank into in line filter than short piece of hose that steps up the size to fit the pump. Thanks Phil, anyone else with any other ideas. Cheers Carl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Carl Ok Try these people, you want a R9 spec hose, as its the pipe from tank to inline filter its not under any pressure but get the correct fuel clips to suit pipe. They also carry fittings http://www.advancedfluidsolutions.co.uk/index.asp?function=search Cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carld Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Guy In line filter to pump, not tank to filter, so different sizes at each end lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 When I replaced all my 6's rubber hoses I found the local auto factor, Unity, had everything in store, cheap too. But the outlet of the Bosch pump, mines a 996, was large and I warmed the hose to stretch it over. Hth Steve Ps, I may have some hose left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jersey Royal Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Guy In line filter to pump, not tank to filter, so different sizes at each end lol The plot thickens. Alot depends on what type of inline filter you have? . Some inline filers "Bulit " typeyou can fit fifferent ends to To enable a good pipe fit. cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Carl, I had the same issue last year, it really did look like garden hose. I spoke to Malcolm at Prestige and he said it was one of their early units and they no longer use that type of Bosch pump. I found the connections on the pre-filter were something like 9mm and the pump 15mm, nothing can bridge that gap, I even looked at a stepped hose connector. The solution for me: I decided it was time to replace the noisy pump with one with the right size connections, it also seemed to clear up the fuel smell in the boot! Not much of a help but least you know you are not alone! Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carld Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Cheers Matt, good to know i am not alone, I have just changed my pump, but it's the same size! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
