Fuel Injected engines have a low pressure hose that returns excess fuel from the engine back to the fuel tank. On the Caterham a 1/4" plastic rigid return hose is supplied. Unfortuately the fitting on the fuel regulator where gas comes out of the engine takes a 5/16" hose. To resolve the difference, a section of 5/6" rubber fuel hose will serve as an adaptor. This will slide over the nipple at the regulator, and slide over the plastic hose as well. Double clamps will secure the hose to hose connection. The blue part in the photo is the regulator nipple. The tiny black hose is a section of the 1/4" plastic hose that was used to test the connection.

You may want to use a better quality product than the hose supplied by Caterham. Today I had to replace the same hose on my Caterham SV due to extensive dry cracks and pin holes due to their close proximity to the engine.
