I'd put up a wanted for 2nd hand one & ask to see pics.

For anyone reading, dont hack through yours to get a tank off.

The fuel will perish it. The rubber needs to be oil/fuel resistant.

contact a hydraulic shop. the sort of pipe that is oil proof is usually petrol proof.

I asked Roose hoses to make some fleuro lined stuff in silicone in the right size & they declined. I was willing to get a batch made up for a group buy too. pah.

There's quite a few shops on eBay that sell lined silicone hose in that size.

Is this the most likely place fir a leak or do the top of the tanks rust? I'm dribbling on a full tank lol

10mm fuel pipe - is hardened so it doesnt kink and is readily available from halfords etc....I am doing this tomorrow!

Will i think he means the main metal pipe.. At the end there a rubber joiner bit..

If you do, there's a few places on Ebay they do fuel save silicone. I have a bit of 2" to do mine, but changed my plan

I got a bit of hose off an engine, cut it and fit it, its been about 6-7 months now and still no leaks.

i'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but is Sean not after the 2/3" long section of rubber pipe the goes between the filler neck and the tank?

If so then the 10mm and pictured stuff above is no good
