Prevent 'rubbing' in hoses?
I have just more or less finished putting in my fuel lines and riveting the P-clips to the chassis etc. I found it almost impossible to prevent the
fuel hoses from rubbing against the chassis when the hose has to go round a corner (75 degees is about the max). In a ideal world absolutely zero
contact with the fuel hose is the way to go, but it the real world it seems impossible where a tight spot is involved. Where any rubbing is likely I
have protected the fuel hose with some convoluted tubing. This seems the best option to me.
Is there any IVA regulation on this and what have other people done?

Sounds like a good way of doing it. where my hoses/fuel lines go near anything i've put fuel hose over them.

You've put fuel hose over fuel hose. Interesting. Did the IVA man comment at all?
When I say rubbing, I don't flopping around or anything. Just touching. I used this fancy pants A1 marine grade fuel hose which is pretty
tough. The wall thickness is about 6mm. I am just being careful

What I meant was over the sold 8mm fuel lines I put hose on top of all the 'might rub' areas. Also over braided brake hoses.
The IVA tester liked the way it was put together.

Agree, I put a larger fuel hose at all possible rubbing points.

+4, rubber fuel hose over the solid fuel & brake pipes at any area,s where there is a risk of "rubbing" secured with cable ties to
keep the rubber hose in place
cheers
