Does anyone know what size (I.D.) this fuel hose is?

Its the short length on the v.early metal filler neck that allows air to escape while filling. ETKA is rather unhelpful and only reveals that it is 200mm long.

Cheers,
Tim

I could do that, but once off the hose isnt going to go back on, which will take the van off the road till I can replace it :( Just thought someone might know

Circumference is PI x diameter.
Therefore the diameter is circumference divided by PI (3.142).

Or use one of THESE

It's 12mm x 3.3mm fuel hose. If you need new clips as well they are 16-28mm jubilee clips

Thankyou!
Its hard to tell from measuring what size is intended, i'd have gone for bigger that that.

It is on Ekta. If there is an N number part above with a dash to the left of it, then any thing under it uses that part. It's supplied in bulk rolls for workshop use you just chop off the length stated.

I suspect it is 12mm, but it was a biatch to fit that size without removing the filler neck, which I didnt want to do. So instead I used some nice 13mm
SAEJ30R hose I had and clamped it with some decent clips. It's only an air-return really, so should be fine.
