 Re: Fuel hose
Same problem with my hoses.
Problem solved with a hose from a modern scrap car.

 Re: Fuel hose
Needs to be this spec "DIN 73379-3E", nothing else is good enough unless the suffix "3e" moves on to a higher spec, it is expensive which is why it is not generally offered except on supply for oe fitment, of course a modern scrap car will be thus fitted.

 Re: Fuel hose
I have. I fitted some about 18 months ago and the bit from the pump to the carb is cracking badly. I e-mailed the seller to ask his advice and he suggested I tried their 'bio-fuel' stuff but didn't seem overly bothered either way. I get fed up of replacing fuel pipe to be honest. It's getting to be part of the service schedule for me.

 Re: Fuel hose
Trouble with precisely this one, origin seems to be the problem, it's printed with all the spec but seems not to meet it. Lenny wrote: I have.
