12mm R9 Fuel Hose

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has a small amount of 12mm R9 fuel hose laying around? Will only need around 300mm..

I can't seem to find anywhere that sells 12mm, only up to 10mm. If not, I'll have to use R6.

Cheers,
James

Don't use R6 with petrol it will eat it!

Yeah, I've experienced that before! Didn't take very long either.

I'm a bit miffed as to why I can't find R9 in 12mm though... The fuel pump has a 12mm inlet, so can't be that unheard of.

Cheers mate, didn't think of that, but not sure if that will be a little sloppy as all my connections are 12mm.

Is R9 minimum standard?

The hose needs a fluorocarbon (Viton) liner to resist the modern additives. PTFE hose would be fine but its not very flexible.
