I have recently gone through the process of replacing the fuel pump (AC Del=
co rebuilt original) and the first outlet pipe I made leaked. I had ordered=
 both the new copper pipe and the olives from a UK Triumph parts company (=
=C2=A0I live in the UK). The outlet pipe was, originally, back in the day,1=
/4=E2=80=9D. The pipe I had been supplied was not 1/4=E2=80=9D but a metric=
 equivalent,=C2=A0as were the olives. So I found a supplier (a general engi=
neering company) that could supply genuine 1/4=E2=80=9D copper pipe and 1/4=
=E2=80=9D brass olives. When making the fitting I was sure to push the copp=
er pipe as far into the pump as it would go then gently tightened up the sl=
eeve nut against the back of the olive. This captured the olive on the pipe=
 with a short length of pipe protruding from the olive. When fitted the pip=
e did not leak, so it is a question of ensuring that the pipe and olive are=
 a match.The inlet pipe to the pump is 5/16=E2=80=9D.
