OM 603 606 Plastic Fuel Lines
OM 603 606 Plastic Fuel Lines
Bumping this back to the top. I've broken one of my plastic fuel lines. Since I have a new pump on the way, I'm thinking about replacing all of the lines, since I have no reference for how stiff/brittle these lines should be (note: everything rubber on my car is brittle, as if the car was baked at some point in time...).
Since the banjo ends are barbed, is there a fuel line/hose available that matches the stock line and will stay attached to the hose-ends? Or, is there a suitable replacement hose that may be clamped?
Zeeman, did you ever come up with a solution, or did you simply order replacement hoses from the dealership?

That is not hose, its tubing made of nylon, more comonly refered as teflon.
and its 7mil not sure if u can aquire that stuff any where, but one good substitute is air compressed tubing, wich any truck store have in many sizes and shapes and colours , i dough they have colorless
good luck
As barrote says, it's nylon, which is compatible with diesel (not petrol though).
Push fit pneumatic hose is nylon and good and cheap to use.
***But be aware, some coloured pneumatic tubing is made from poly vinyl type stuff and it NOT compatible with diesel, if its translucent it will definitely be nylon.

Check McMaster Carr
Part number 5733K77
There are others that are harder, thicker, thinner, nylon instead of teflon,,,,,
Not sure if this one can stay on the barbs without clamps but, it has a wide variety of uses listed.
For Use With:
Acetic Acid, Acetone, Biodiesel, Bleach, Coolant, Deionized Water, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Hydraulic Fluid, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Isopropyl Alcohol, Kerosene, Methanol, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Mineral Oil, Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sulfuric Acid, Vegetable Oil
Assuming that the size could be found, I've used motorcycle fuel hose for both gas and diesel. That is what our fleet mechanic recommended, and has used on our forklifts. Cheap and easy to find, plus for the custom crowd it comes in a variety of colors (including clear)

Here's what I did. Fixed it once and for good. See the pic in post 43 here:

Just go to the next MB-Dealer, for my 602 Build i got 1 Meter for free from my Partsguy at Mercedes.
Only thing is that the "new" Version of the Fuelline is black instead of translucent.

No, 606/605 Fuel Lines are still available in translucent.
I was talking about the Lines for 601/02/03...
