Need a part but who to use?

[RICH-I-AM]

Evening all.
Took the fuel tank out of my 70 this evening due to dodgy fuel smells.
I cant find any problems so to go on the side of caution im sending the tank away for a clean out n pressure test.
Anyway, I want to replace all the rubber in there.
Im after the filler neck piece wich is straight, about 7 inches long and roughly 55mm id.
Any of the usual suspects do it?
Gotta be fuel safe.

Cheers

Samco have started a line of fuel resistant hoses now but they dont come cheap :shock:

Merlin motorsport do these and standard stuff,

I bought mine from here.
Give Chris a ring, and he'll cut it down to whatever length you want.

just quicky on the fuel smell, was the petrol cap sealed correctly as that can make a real bad fuel smell, making ya ass go 20p / 50p when on a run.

This is definitely worth checking first, I was on edge everywhere I went as I could smell really strong fumes, picked a new cap up at a show and the smell has died down a bit (for now) il be checking the tank etc when the engine comes out aswell though, just to be sure!

My arse always goes 20/50 every time I drive it, fuel smell or not :mrgreen:
The tanks away for the next few days getting looked at.
Baught a meter length of Gates fuel filler neck hose and only need 7 inches :?
And some 8 and 10mm hoses for for the breaters. Only need 1 or 2 inches of each of them aswell :?
Hope the tank ends up being ok, new clutch and put it all back together again.
Might get a new filler cap whilst im at it.

Cheers
