Locating the correct fuel filler neck rubber hose

[Samba-lee]

Pulled the longer of these two off my one-owner '68 so I figure it is very likely original, but the replacement that everyone sells it way too short, see.

Any suggestions who sells the correct longer straight one ?

thanks

These guys do 500mm for 25 quid

I bought some from Shorty on here when he had some left over from doing his.
The only downfall with the silicon hosing is that it has to be assembled to the filler pipe in location as the dia is larger and the pipe with the clamp won't go through the filler hole!

What length of pipe do you need for the filler?

C&c have one that's 215mm long & 46mm diameter whilst vw heritage is 120mm long & 55mm diameter?

That C&C one is for Type 3's

No good for your bus.

If you need the a longer bit the only way of doing it is to use the longer late bay hose and cut the angled section off.

I know it's not ideal but all we can do at present.

I think it's another 68 only thing.

 

[Manxfella]

Not sure if it makes any difference, but my bus is a jan 71, not a 68.

Do we still have the same hose problem?

Must change my avatar!

Not sure TBH

There are so many variations in tank between the various models and years, best way to know is to check.

Need to make sure it's safe with petrol though...

(This say ID of 54mm but sure you could stretch it!!)

Thanks

That's a nope on petrol bud ;-)

FWIW I bought mine from a kit car place, they do loads of the stuff. Can't remember what it was called but it was blue silicon.

 

[Dickie524]

Yeah, I've asked about, and discovered that since that original posting - it goes all soft and gluey...

 

[Happystamps]

I use CPE hose at work for oil transfer- that'd probably hold out OK...
