Do all petrol pipes turn hard ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
When charging my 400 battery up last week I noticed that my petrol pipe had lost a lot of it's original flexibility.
After a tip from a member I fitted an in line Aeroline alloy bodied fuel filter. The filter is mounted in a space near the tool box front. To avoid kinking the pipe runs round the tool tray and then back to the carbs.
I noticed a definite hardening of the flexible pipe, I can't remember now what brand I fitted, it wasn't DS.
Is this something to worry about, should I be replacing it ?
Athame57:
I would replace anything that has gone hard. Funny but the usual culprit with me is the carburettor overflow tubes.
Laverda Dave:
I had the exact opposite Ted, my fuel pipe turned to jelly and swelled so badly it fell off the fuel tap spigot when I took the clip off!
Laverda Dave:
I purchased a length of viton fuel hose with the correct internal bore from Bryan, I don't know if he has any stock left?
Bryanj:
I think i have 1 meter left avaiable of the Honda pipe i bought from japan
