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.

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.

would prefer less joints though
