1.9 cdti sri Fuel pipe size?

[carlvalley]

Hi there, can anybody tell me what size the fuel pipe is for me to order a one way fuel valve, i have seen 6,8,10mm!!!!! thank you!!

Which fuel pipe, and what's the valve for...?

[carlvalley]

having problems starting when car has been standing more than a few hours, need to install a one way valve onto the fuel pipe coming from the tank, thanx

is it definetly a 1.9 you have as the 2.0 and 2.2 are more prone to this problem, i'd be looking into the problem more if its on the 1.9 engine

Doesn't the 1.9 have the pump in the tank as well as the HP pump? If so then that may have failed.

The tank has it's own pump which you can hear running when you turn the ignition on. It allows you to easily bleed the system so unless that's failed a 1-way valve won't make a jot of difference...
