    Question Petrol-resistant rubber tubes?

    Has any one got any recomendation of where to get this from?

    Looking for sizes from 34/35mm to 39/40mm

    I am after some to try and make up an inlet manifold for a non standard carb, any suggestions welcome. Oh, and if anyone has any idea about ideas about glues that could be used to stick different size pipes togeather (thinking about sleaving them) would also be apreciated.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Personally I've used radiator hose in the past, haven't had an issue. Even used a monster sized piece from a truck to adapt a fuel tank filler inlet to a motorcycle fuel cap welded into the body of a car

    Radiator hose? Didnt think that would have stood up to the petrol but I guess I was wrong.

    Thanks guys

    Even if it doesn't last forever, chances are the hose you buy will have enough to be replacing it for a good long time later.

    Loctite 401 it costs alot for such a small bottle but works well. Used this to glue some "O rings" that had over streached and needed to be cut and joined together when I rebuilt my carbs.
