New fuel Hoses

Post by ajt1503 »

hi

from reading the wiki forum, there's some advice on there for new owners regarding replacing fuel hoses if you have no idea of how long/old they have been on the van for..

Is there any members who have recently replaced their hoses within the last year etc, who can give me advice on where the best place to buy them from is? or which type is a better quality....

There was a comment in the wiki that said that they didnt think the hoses supplied by GSF were very good... should I avoid there then.. also should I avoid jubilee clips or are they okay to use.. if there not then what is the name of the clips that I should use...

thanks for any advice.

There is lots of very poor quality hose out there and TBH it's just not worth the risk...buy from a trusted source and someone who uses there own products in their own workshop so tried and tested.

Fuel hose requires fuel hose clips...all on here:
If you read the product details Simon even gives advice on required lengths etc. Very prompt and efficient service..if you are really struggling then he will advise over the phone (bare in mind that he has a workshop to run)
