is the above micro bore pipe the same as that people buy from B&Q for fuel pipe?

Its about half as much

B&Q and Screwfix are owned by the same crowd KINGFISHER last time we looked.

The microbore 8 &10 will carry petrol no bother just remember to use the correct grade of flexi pipe.

cheers

have already picked up some short length of rubber pipe, so just need some of that microbore stuff

Learn by my mistake, get the thicher wall version, the thin wall is unbendable even with a tube bender, it just kinks - I ended buying galved steel petrol pipe, tuogh as hell but will bend to tight raduii

i might get some more rubber hose then, or use the rubber hose i have to make the bends.

thanks for the warning though

i used rubber hose all the way. Is there a reason for not wanting to use this? is microbore better? with mine, there are only 4 joints from end to end. tank, engine and 2 at the filter.

i think its just that micro bore is a bit cheaper.

would prefer less joints though
