    Default Fuel tank S-shaped hose leak?

    Right just found fuel dripping from the feed from the tank to the car on this hose. The issue I'm having is finding a replacement for it. As it's my daily driver I need it ASAP but still can't find one online or in ocp/ebay.
    I think it's this part 6 90157911 820227 HOSE,FEED,FUEL TANK TO FUEL PUMP (NLS.- USE 90305627 8 20 239) 1.
    The only place I haven't tried is vauxhall but that was due to my working hours today. Does anybody know where I can source this from or if vauxhall still stock.
    This is for a non injection carb tank and feed.
    Thanks
    Richard

    If you struggle, it may be worth considering replacing it with some regular 10mm internal bore hose, but when you but the S shape into it it'll kink and block up so buy a 9-10mm compression spring for coppers on eBay and wind that inside the hose which will stop it blocking up

    They did quote something like £10 plus vat over the phone. Gotta run there before work tho as the guy wasn't sure if he found the right part.
    Rich was the supply and return the same item or does one have a smaller inner bore?

    I used a piece of fuel pipe off a scrap Fiat Punto and two jubilee clips on mine. Worked a treat. its only fuel line of a certain width, its generally the same type of pipe across most makes of car bud
