Hi,
Just wondering what is the best (and MOT legal) way to replace a leaking fuel pipe on a Daewoo Espero (Cavalier). The pipe has got bad enough to drip petrol onto the road and appears to be coming from a place about in the centre of the car.. The pipe runs though what I think are hard plastic guides alongside the brakeline just underneath the sill. It's difficult to see where it attaches to at each end though, but it's easy to get to a section of the pipe (which is metal btw) which appears in good condition and seems sound. I was wondering whether it would be legal to cut out the corroded bit and splice in a length of plastic fuel pipe using the special jubilee clips created for the purpose. I don't think it will be possible to feed the new tube though the old grommets without breaking them, so wondered whether it would be ok to cable tie the new pipe to the brakeline.
Any help from people that have had experience of this sort of thing would be appreciated.
Thanks
