hey dudes
i fitted my new long range tank today, but the hose they gave me for the main filler tee, is a reinforced thing that won't crush down when you put a hose clamp on it. as a result it leaks. even better, it leaks all over my exhaust.
insert running away as fast as i can owner here
anyway. can anyone tell me where i can get a hold of fuel grade rubber or otherwise flexible pipe around inch and a half ID, about a metre and a bit long
in the meantime i need to figure out where i will put 150odd litres of diesel so i can work on the tank

Re: need fuel filler hose
try a proper cam type clamp, the fuel resistant viton or similar elastomer hoses are hard to find in a soft type hose, and even then are VERY expensive. a decent cam type clamp will set you back $10 - $15 depending where you get it, but pirtek, hydralink etc will have themrockcrawler31 wrote:hey dudes

If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
fuel line
Fit a bigger section of steel tube over the existing bit and clamp the hose over that. May have to weld or braze it on...
