Petrol Filler Pipe

[400TT]

Dimi, I certainly agree, for standard fuel lines, leaching is a big issue. We've found some hose that does it and some that does not. Same goes for braided line. Seems the better quality more expensive hose does not do it.

Seems to all come back to the rubber component in the line and the exact compound used.

As you say all the Teflon lined stuff should fix the problem.

Boats also have the same issue.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Baz - Earls at Silverwater has it (or at least had it about 6 months ago).

Peter,

Maybe my Harrison tank is a little different but the angle between the inlet pipe on the tank and the spout under the filler was pretty minimal. A 50 mm special fuel hose did the job. Pic shows it somewhat...

Thanks Guys, most informative, as usual, Interesting about the Silicon hose being incompatible with Petrol! I will have to get an off cut and watch the reaction, I notice in some of the pics that there are earth straps, but whilst wandering around the wreckers didn't notice any on factory cars, even those that were isolated from the body by rubber fittings. "why is it so?" Peter

Just a heads up that the requirements actually dictate the use of Neoprene hose for the fuel filler.

By the looks of it most here have used the correct hose material.
