Does anyone know if clear fuel hose to suit petrol is available? And if so who supplies it.
I am only after a very short length 12mm / 1/2" diam
I want to use it vertically on the side of a fuel tank as a visual reference to the fuel level.
Cheers

i have clear fuel hose on my ute, it is the "braided" type though, like a garden hose looking thing but obviously clear instead of green

I would try to steer clear of it, sun and dirt eventually will make it dirty...
Plus light encourages algal growth.
Run a fuel guage like out of a tinny fuel tank.
Its a lid, you unscrew it to fuel up, and the lid has a float thing attached and E=F with an arrow.

You would be surprised how similar they are.
We make the material for both.
The resin is the same - but the plasticisers are different - normal flexable hose plasticisers tend to come out with the petrol - making the hose hard.
We also add an anti static product to the material.
Most petrol hose is tinted pink to make it obvious in the market.

Edit: we sell pellets not hose - so no freebies sorry
