Hi guys,
I'm in the process of refreshing our petrol tank and associated parts, and I need to get a replacement for the rubber hose that connects the filler neck to the tank. The ones listed on the standard sites say "short" and the measurements are too short. Mine measures 180mm long, with the same 55mm internal diameter.
I've seen a few silicone hoses on ebay that might do the job, just wondering if anyone has used one of these? Some are straight while some come with a 45 degree bend, so it sounds like they might not be particularly flexible.
I've seen longer rubber ones on a couple of vw sites but they are priced around £50+ and these silicone hoses come in at half the price or less.
Appreciate any advice or tips, especially from those who have tried this kind of alternative hose.
Cheers,
Rich
