Peter V W Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Jason, if you search for fuel pipes there is lots of advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 If you can get it over here then what you need is Gates Barricade to R14 spec which will cope with any type of fuel including Methanol, difficult to get hold of here and often needs to come from the States, I can post up the part number when I get into work in the morning as its all I use now.

John L Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Available from Moss, https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?o=baracade&q=barricade&search_group= I also had a smell of petrol in the boot, I had the tank out anyway, and found the fibre washer on the drain plug could have been the culprit, worth a check.
