There is a HUGE difference between fuel injection hose...and hose suitable for being submerged in fuel, which you didnt mention is what you need.

Speak to Sytec and order some hose that is suitable for being submerged in fuel. I doubt any local shops will sell it, as it isnt something that's used very often.

ah ok thanks for advice. yes it is in the tank but didnt relise it would cause a problem. just assumed as fuel runs through it then it could cope with fuel on outside.

appreciate reply and will email sytec. thank you
