    Re: pipe ends

    which end are you referring to? to fit to braided hose you unscrew the red ferrel, screw that onto the braided hose, then screw the hose/red bit onto the blue. you cant use it with push fittings

    Also in this day and age, I'd make sure that you are using teflon lined fuel lines, especially as (as presume this is on the Fiesta) the fuel lines are in the car. If you just use braided rubber hoses, you will get petrol fumes in the cabin
