--I would avoid the cotton braided stuff--it gives you no clue as to the condition of the rubber underneath---it rots but only leaks when the engine is running----get the rubber stuff marked 'fuel hose' with a BS number on it--look in yer yellow pages there should be a hose supplier nr you--

can get it halfords, comes with proper fuel clips, dont use jubilee, rubber with internal braid is better than external cotton braided stuff.
