In Tank pump connection
My replacement pump has a 8mm output pipe, whereas the original was a rubber 'female' seal which pushed over the steel pipe that's
connected to the tank mounting plate (if that makes any sense!).
I am able to overcome this by joining the output pipe to the steel pipe using a short length of fuel hose.
So my question, is it OK to use fuel hose, and connectors inside the tank?
I believe it should be OK, but confirmation would be reassuring.
Many thanks
Danny

You need pucka in tank fuel hose, normal stuff drops to bits very quickly!

proper stuff is expensive though
lined inside and outside
I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,
but this jacket makes it impossible.

I only need 2" 
As a temporary measure, how long would ordinary fuel hose last?

No, I can not make it this year.
I have just seen that Merlin motorsport sell it. I need some other bits as well, so will probably pop over.
Thanks for the advice.
