Hello All, sorry if this topic has been discussed before but I can't seem to find any threads about it and nobody has posted anything in over a month on the ZRX forum.

My '03 ZRX1200 needs the fuel line replaced. Wondering if anyone has any tricks/techniques as to how to remove and reinstall the 5/16" end on the fuel rail without removing the airbox. Also, what modifications can be done so that the petcock is 5/16" instead of the factory 3/8"? (So I can use common 5/16" fuel line)

Thanks in advance for any responses or links to existing info that I can't seem to find.

 

3/8"? If so, there are 3/8" fuel lines readily available at your local auto store.

Do you have a pic of that end rail question?

 

Dragone#19,

Unfortunately, the fuel line on my ZRX has two different size I.D.'s. At the carb. or fuel rail the line is 5/16", in fact the line is 5/16" the entire length until it reaches the fuel petcock where it expands to 3/8". So if I use 3/8" line it will be loose at the fuel rail and if I use 5/16" line it will be too small to fit on the petcock. I have a factory replacement line but it seems impossible to get at the old line where it connects to the fuel rail without removing the airbox.

 

ah, ok. That sounds messed up on the fuel line sizing.
I am not sure then without removing the airbox.
