Mk5 fuel sender unit pipes

[gheebhow 4]

Hi all,

 

I finally got round to replacing the fuel flexi hoses on my 2l Mk5. I’d bought ethanol-proof hose of two sizes (8mm and 6mm, sender and return), but now that I’ve got the old ones off I see that the metal pipes on the sender unit itself are both 8mm.

 

That isn’t what I had expected (or what I'd read here), and it’s different to a replacement sender unit I bought a while back. Did they change the spec of sender units at some point? Mine is a 1980 Mk5.

 

Cheers

Probably change manufacturers 5p across a 20/30,000 sender's!

Yep, Ford were always very good at that sort of thing - certainly better than BMC anyway.

 

Thanks Craig
