OT help!

I wonder if this lot could help?

That looks very promising - thanks Bob.

You really don't want silicone hose for fuel resistant purposes. It can be lined to give some resistance but that's very expensive and nitrile or neoprene are better options. Silicone hoses are mainly used for connecting up the intercooler and air intakes on turbocharger applications. Try this instead.

Try Demon tweeks (probably not spelt like that) Peter

Helpful but sadly they don't sell in less than 10m lengths..but the go-faster shops suggested by Peter has opened a new avenue of possibilities.

Also had ships chandlers suggested which is so obvious I feel silly for not thinking of it.

Also try local hydraulics places, my local one makes up hydraulic lines to spec. and certainly has some hose of that sort of proportion. I know 'cos I was in there yesterday for some oil and saw it.

Quick update. I sourced half a metre of 57mm flexible fuel filler hose from;

Simple job to cut out the pipe with the pin pricks in and replace it with the new hose. Must remember to change the fuel filter - some bits must have fallen into the tank.

If you every wondered where kit-car builders get everything from try cbsonline.

Thanks for the help.
