fuel pipe

using a fraud injection pump,the inlet is 14mm,i had the idea of using 13mm copper pipe with solder on fittings to make a 180 deg bend,it will only be a few inches long,any ideas re SVA and will fuel have any advers effects on copper or the solder?

We've had soldered copper fittings on ours for 2 years now with no adverse effects and it went through the SVA fine like that.

there was some discussion a while ago about the fuel braking down the copper over time, and clogging injectors.

think the outcome was it would, but after you'd done about 150,00 miles though.

pretty sure you'll be fine.
