Braided hosing in engine bay

[taff141177]

Hi was thinking of replacing some of the pipe work with braided hosing was wondering what was best either the stuff you slip straight over the original pipe work or taking the old stuff off and replacing with new braided hosing ? Any one got any ideas or have done this themselves

Only done my fuel hoses to and from the fuel filter. I used high pressure braided hoses with red finishers. I changed the complete hose not cover the originals

is it easy to and how long did it take

Very easy. I changed my fuel filter at the same time, just cut your hose length to match the originals and switch them over, just make sure they go on the same way as your old ones, hardly any fuel comes out either when you disconnect the hoses. Took about 30 mins.
