Fuel Pipe - Copper to Rubber.
Hi,
I just wondered what was the preferred method of going from the 8mm copper fuel pipe to the rubber pipe i.e. are the ends of the copper swaged etc. or
just left plain?
Cheers,
Chris.

I used soft solder to fix some compression-fitting olives on the end.

heard of people doing the solder olives (i'd make sure there are no edges), flaring the pipe. or just jubilee clipping the pipe on.
personally i'd make sure there is something for the jubilee to go up against.

Mine are just straight pipe with jubilee clips. No problem so far, but I am concerned. The problem is now I am worried about trying to solder a pipe
with petrol in!

I soldered a straight connector onto my 10mm pipe and as the copper straight connector was pre soldered it is ribbed so will hold the ubber nicely

Cheers guys,
I dont have a flaring tool so will opt for soldering some olives on.
Thanks.

As MikeR said earlier - once you've soldered them on, run a small fine file round to knock off any sharp edges. You could also use some emery
cloth to smooth it off.
Just make sure that you blast some air through when you've finished, whether you file or emery, just to get rid of any bits.

Use the correct fuel pipe clips NOT Jubilee clips as they cause the hose to bunch up . Flaring the pipe or using olives works well
