SpitFireSIX Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hi, I believe the heat/energy is developed from the PRV. The pump needs to generate enough pressure so at WOT & Max RPM the pressure exceeds required. Lower pump voltage at idle would reduce heat? Cheers, Iain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J R Martin Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Almost two years ago this topic was aired on the Forum and I was under the impression that the PQI and the supplier would be working together to solve what could be serious design fault. Part number 214890 To date, I have seen nothing on here from either party but perhaps I missed it. Looking forward to the solution. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvtrian Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Hi John The PQI topic is still live and sitting with Rimmers for them to complete their dialogue with the manufacturers, I will prompt them to see if anything has developed. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having worked in the death and destruction market for most of my working life where specs apply for everything. My local hose manufacture will not supply that type of fitting for that application?? They will only use swaged sleeves as they have had instances of this problem in the past. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The PQI team are part of the SDF activity, operating separately from the TR Register, and whilst our collective goodwill has had great results on many topics with several suppliers, perhaps its time Mike Jennings, as Technical Director, and the TR Register itself, got involved and stood up for its members, particularly if safety is a concern? I would give Rimmers a big thumbs up on resolving several other issues, most notably a gearbox rebuild and a TR3 exhaust silencer members problems amongst others. Just my opinion of course, in the interim, we are doing our best. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then to have a fire which would be the end of someone's pride and joy. Have Rimmer's withdrawn their stock from sale which is normal practice in safety situations? If they are still selling them it just shows how poor a company they are? Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce - I agree with you, it might be more productive if you directed your efforts to the director/person responsible in the TR Register, as outlined above, along with posting on the forum.

michaeldavis39 Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Is there any other company/supplier that is making a safe hose that I can buy- currently have the none safe one waiting to be fitted- which wont be - so not able to run engine obviously without. I dont care if it costs £150 if its safe I will buy it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I do not have a spare hose to copy but I am fairly sure my local Hydraulic company would be able to produce one that complies. Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont care if it costs £150 if its safe I will buy it! 214890S the stainless steel braided hose offered by Moss has crimped ferrules at each end. Probably made by Mocal or a similar company not the ‘ brite-n-shiny corp.’ https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/hose-fuel-filler-flexible-stainless-steel-braided-214890s.html?assoc=129173 Edited March 26, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Yes it is made by Mocal. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Moss doesn’t specify the hose quality, so I would ask first. I simply would not rely on the (good) reputation of a supplier for high pressure fuel hoses. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They sell DIN spec. ethanol approved hose and can put swaged sleeves on. You will have to give them a sample or drawing of what you want. I think that the fittings are 3/8" BSP? for engine pipe to M/U but that needs checking. Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) So I could just send them my current poor quality existing new pipe to copy from then. Thank you Edited March 31, 2023 by michaeldavis39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
