Default K-Jet fuel pipe problems

Hello,

Now I know it isn't a VW, but it is running KE-JET and I have a bit of a problem......

Noticed a bit of moisture on the joint of the offending braided pipe at the metering head end.

Touched it, and it snapped in my hand.

I have managed to get a decent seal on the hard pipe end, see photo:



But the seal onto the braided line is crap, as the fuel tracks up the braided outer.

I have tried wrapping it with PTFE tape, but it still leaks (the pipe and clips are proper fuel ones).

Can I cut the braided pipe at the other end:



and put a length of fuel pipe between the two?



Bugger and arse are the words that come to mind, some guy was supposed to be sending me some replacement pipes (so I didn't buy a spare engine off ebay that had all the pipes with it), but typical, he has disappeared off the face of the earth.

Any ideas?

Steve
