Hello everyone.
I am planning on replacing all of the fuel lines, hoses, tubes, pipes, etc in my '85 308QV this winter. The hoses were suppose to have been replaced at the local Ferrari dealer several years ago, but it appears that they billed for work they never performed. As such, I want to replace the hoses for safety reasons. I have contacted Ferrari UK as to which hoses I should replace, but they only indicated two hoses (see attached photo). I know that there have to be many more than just two fuel lines that need to be replaced. Does anyone have a detailed list or diagram that lists all of the hoses, tubes, pipes, etc that are in the fuel system and that should be replaced? I have the parts book for my car, but it is confusing as to which lines are in the system.
Also, the book mentions hoses, pipes, and tubes for what appear to be hoses for the fuel system. What is the difference between these three items? Case in point, the big braided line (hose for lack of a better term) that runs from the left gas tank to the right gas tank is referred as to a pipe in the parts book. Is this item really a metal pipe with braiding on the outside, or just a heavy duty braided rubber hose?
Finally, the two hoses that are labeled in red in the attached diagram appear to be metal (stainless steel???) braided hoses on my car. Are these the original hoses, or have they been replaced? (i.e. are they suppose to be rubber) They have yellow paint on the ends which many of my clamps have too. Even though the dealer was suppose to have replaced the hoses in the fuel system (my car had major fuel contamination issues since the previous owner stored the car for 13 years. The entire fuel system was suppose to have been replaced due to the gas turning into carmel), I do not trust that the hoses really were replaced. Is there anyway to verify that the hoses on my car are original or not? Also, are all hoses and clamps with yellow paint original from the factory?
Sorry for so many questions, but I feel that replacing the fuel lines is very important, and often overlooked by owners.
Thanks.
Ken
