Hi Chaps
Are you referring to the front to back copper pipe? I am also at this stage of my build.

Cheers

Yes but i wont be using coppoer pipe.

What are you meant to use?

I going to use fuel hose 30r9

me to, the sae30r9 hose resists the corrosive ethanol now being added to unleaded that will eat your bog standard stuff, pauladamss where are you buying yours from as the real stuff is either difficult to find in the UK or bloody expensive from the USA?

Is it actually a hose material? Is there problems using copper or a similar material?

if they start adding more than 10% then start worrying about your whole fuel system, at the mo with 5-10% content it seems its only affecting the rubber which is drying out & perishing leading to leaks, not good if your pipe runs over a hot engine!! fire extinguishers at the ready boys

Ebay looks to be about the only place item no 250833589945 £4.45 per m.

yes ive seen this already, however the description at the bottom says "Suitable for Unleaded Petrol, Leaded Petrol and Diesel Fuels" making no ref. to ethanol, alcohol or bio fuels which i thought would be its main selling point. I intend to ring them when they're open to clarify

Let me know how you get on.
