which size of fuel hose internal diameter do I need??

1982 2.0 CU

5mm or 7mm

cheers

Simon

I'm after some as well!
I measured the o/d of the fuel pump ferrules at 6mm so i guess the 5mm would be a snug fit. Dunno if its right?
anyone got a contact for the cotton covered braided stuff?

Hi Deepdale,

If you are after the cotton braided/rubber fuel hose your nearest supplier
is Westhoughton VW-Audi Specialist,186,Deane Road,Bolton.'Phone 01204
535152. I've seen it on display in the shop a few weeks ago.

my mate has just told me 7mm,

just kampers sell it

if its the stuff on top of the petrol tank its 5mm, not sure about the stuff from front to back.

can you confirm 7mm?

Thanks

Simon

Sorry, don't know that.

Not to worry,

Thanks for the tank pipe size tho

Have just changes all the hose over the tank on dads van, and ive just bought some to do mine. need to get about a metre.

cool,

thanks very much, I'll order some tonight

--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--

According to ETOS, 5.5mm int. diameter, 3mm wall.

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