spill pipes

thanks for prompt reply,the pipes are blowing off at the point where they just push on,if that makes sense !! my first fix was to put cable ties,but then the next one does it etc,the vehicle is in a disco/4x4 garage and they are baffled!!last i heard they were going to check the fuel lines back to the tank,it tests ok on a spill test,grief or what

Yes I know exactly what you are on about, it happened to me today , plumes of smoke and I dare say a very close engine fire , after a long run spanking it, bit of smoke the lots of smoke , pulled over smoke out of bonnet, Censored twitching moment!!! So what's the best solution?

Try tie wiring them on... Failing that, new fuel leak off pipes.
Been there.
I also needed new injector Big Cry
