Where to get bike safe fuel hose?

[bogan]

So a year ago I redid all my feul hoses with some from repco and partsmaster. Had a problem with getting the right sizes back then, as most of their stuff is imperial, 6.3 instead of 6 for example. Second problem I've now got, is they are all developing cracks on the outside, I think the inside is made of sterner stuff, but I don't want it looking all huckory with cracked lines.

Where are good places to get some good hose in the right size? And if possible, does anyone stock clear petrol/heat safe tubing? as this looks good on other bikes I have seen with it.

Use Tygon in your searches. It's lovely.

That looks like the stuff, will have to ring round a few places, or possibly get online, looks like bits4bikes has it but not keen on selling small quantities....

Pretty sure I need 8mm and 6mm stuff, so if you want similar sizes....

Bits4bikes will be out of clear 6mm till mid dec by the looks of things... Also their site looks dodgy, listing the same tube as 6mm and 1/4in, that 0.35 makes a bit of difference!

it will be the same diameter as the stuff in the link i put up, 1/4 inch

Would prefer 6mm, as the last stuff needed a decent clamp to stop it leaking. Also not so keen on ordering internationally, as my bike is in bits now, and don't want to have to pull it apart again in a month.

There's an NZ supplier, I can get the name if you need it.

Last Tygon I bought was for the mini motos, got it from a mower shop of all places (4.5mm).

Dewtec.

Also clear fuel line to my knowledge is contact only. As in can handle fuel passing through, but not intended to have it sitting in the line on a permanent basis.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong though.

Apparently we got cut lengths here (http://www.c2c.co.nz/wawcs0145888/products.html) last time. Need to get a little more this week. It can handle fuel standing in it ok, but it's not clear, it's fluro yellow.

cheers, just emailed them, and they do by m lengths, yellow is my tertiary color anyway, so that is all good!

Will probably have decent sized offcuts for 3/16th, 5/16th, and maybe 1/4 hose if anyone wants some. They don't do 6mm, so will just hope it's a better fit than last time.

Seems to be doing the job, the 1/4 was too loose so I put it inside 20mm bits of the 5/16th for the ends, which tightened it up enough. And added fuelsafe gasket goo, and wire ring clips for good measure. It's really good on all the other bits though, a bit tackier than normal automotive stuff, and less easily pulled off the barbs.
