fuel filler hose

quick Q re the hose you get to run from the filler cap to the tank.

Im looking at fitting this tank:



Now the filler end is ok as the hose goes over the filler housing but at the tank end if I put the hose over the tank inlet pipe then will petrol seep over the sides of the pipe?

or is this not really a problem? I presume a big jubilee clip is whats used to secure the filler pipe onto the pipe tank?

cheers all

Get a nice tight bit of hose (ooh nurse)....and a big jubilee clip and it shouldnt weep atall

perfect thanks, I could use 2 jubilees? one midway and one up at the top of the inlet pipe

If its a tight fit, one would do..


But there is nothing wrong with having two....better safe than sorry I guess
