Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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

tried silicon on the part where it leaks??

try enzed hoses or simliar to get different fittings to suit??

look up industrial hoses in the yellow pages, every city will have places which sell that sort of hose. ( and i dont mean Repco). Here in Adelaide it is called Adelaide Belt and 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 them

i get all my hoses from purple pig. at least its only leaking diesel.

I got some from AUtobarn...

Or gasket goo if only a small leak it`s oil/fuel resistent (tempery fix)

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...
