How to shell a self-intersecting shape

You will have to split the pipe and rebuild some of it. Below is a part of it. The crossing can be solved by splitting the surface with intersection curves. The loop is more complicated. I deleted the part which had the self intersection and rebuilt it with a network surface and 4 blended “rails”. The part shown below is a closed polysurface.
