Sorry if this is in the wrong section,

Im about to change the fuel line/brake line in my 5th gen. I dont know the name of the tool needed to make the collar on the copper line for the push fitting for the plastic line. I can find hundreds of tools for flaring only.

cheers

I'm not sure if this will do pipe small enough - but should put you on to the right path.



I haven't looked at the fuel lines, so no idea how the plastic (rubber?) pipe is attached - possibly heated into place?

will it make this collar? i dont even know the name of the "collar"

The collar (top one?) is called a bead and you need a bead rolling tool, which is linked above but I have no idea of the quality.

if its the bottom one, I think you will be hard pushed to make that collar? Wasnt aware the prelude had that sytle of connector?

Is it like the on in the bottom right here? https://www.protecfuelpumps.com/fuel-ho ... connector/ ?

Yeah they have 2. There's 3 pipes which come from the fuel tank. On pipe is slip on. The other 2 have the quick disconnect. I think il have to change it to an easier way for the diyer.
Cheers

I've found iatool for 200 quid that does them. Yeah so there get changed to something else. Lol
