Fuel Line Connections
« on: 05.11. 2017 18:48 »
Hi folks, I’m after some of your expertise and experience; I currenty have rubber fuel lines and would like to change over to copper. I have the correct ends but struggling to find a, 1/4” inline solder tee, can anyone point me in the right direction where to obtain one or several?

Kind regards Andy

  I found some a couple of yours ago at my local gas & / refrigeration supplies, if you have one, most likely refrigeration/air-con.

Holdens have some fittings but doesn't look like soldered type: https://goo.gl/jKyo4P

If you could manage to use 8mm pipe you could go to a local plumbers merchants and fill your boots.

I guess someone with a lathe could make up the parts of a tee pretty easily and then solder, (preferably Silver solder) them together. One could even saw, file and drill one up from a dollop of brass.

Why do you need a Tee anyway? On my bike the pipes meet at the union below the Amal float chamber.

Hi folks many thanks for the replies, I have now ordered the tees bsa-bill thanks, and will mak3 a piece up.
 
Grey beard, I have a brass push fit dual connector but have been given a screw single brass connector hence the need for a tee piece.

Hope this helps and thanks again folks Andy
