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 (tel: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

Vauxhall still stock these. I have just bought a couple of each, supply and return.

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

Mine turned up today, 2x supply and 2x return. The return is a smaller bore.

What's the bloody chances that both hoses go at the same time! Got the replacement on and that's all fine now but went back and checked after a drive to get fuel and there's a small split in the return pipe. So had to go back to vauxhall and get the return ordered ( thanks rich for the part number) but have to wait upto 10 days for it to come in from Germany. Just hope the tape holds out on it.
Must have split on a bump or may have been through a pot hole.

Best chalk that up to "it's a nova replace all lol"

Likely its split because of the age, you should find new hoses are rubbery & flexible, but they quickly become very hard, almost like plastic. It just shows how quickly they can perish & you wonder why it fails at 10/20 years??

They do tend to crack and split, this is my Spider hoses.

The return I've now ordered looks to have already been replaced. The other on the feed was the old type with the cotton style braiding over the rubber

What size are the feed and return hoses??

Novasport

I think...
Supply is 8mm ID for the 'S' hose
Return is 6mm ID for the 'S' hose

Was going to get braided hose for the sport but im not sure if it will kink and stop or cut the flow down. Guess i'll just have to experiment. cheers for the sizes.
