fuel line pipe.

Hi.
Can anyone tell me the internal diameter of the fuel line from the fuel tank to the fuel filter.im thinking of fitting a hand primmer inline just before the filter to aid a filter change.the ends on the primmer are metal and come in different sizes that are moulded to each end.
Thanks for any info.
Graham

No problems at all with my car.its just its due a filter change.Afrer reading posts about fuel filter changes on here.Peoplesay that it can be a mare to bleed after an i just thought it would make things easier.

i would leave it alone myself. a squeezy thing will just make things difficult when it blows under the pressure. just fit the new filter and start the engine.

You make it sound so simples.
How come poeple say its a mare an suggest hanging a diesel can from the bonnet to help bleed it...

If it needed a squeezy thing Audi would have supplied a squeezy thing. If it's a PD it's self priming if it's a VP just fill it with diesel

might be an old fergie tractor though, that would need a fuel can hanging above the engine, or an old 2 1/4 landy.

Ford diesels can be a pig to bleed as were the old diesel Astras. VAG cars are easy

oh god, a mondeo, had loads of fun getting them to start. as you say, all vags are easy as they have bosch pumps (pre pd). petrols just don't need bleeding.
