So I spent out the cash on the uprated fuel hoses with the better ethanol resistance... happy days.. but, what about the fuel filler neck and tank hose flexi? Is there any better quality type out there?
Neck , nope Tank hose: probably, a generic piece of fuel grade hose, depending on how hard you want to be in fighting a stiff hose into place, compared with the pliancy of the correct fit replacement items offered.
The quality is only as good as the current fuel Supply necessitates , so could be perfect forever on today’s fuel
Possibly. Worth reading the last two posts on this thread. http://thelatebay.com/index.php?thr...abouts-then-read-this.227/page-7#post-1212475 I ended up getting a filler neck from this guy - double check its 100% ethanol resistant http://jtarubber.co.uk/index.htm. john@jtarubber.co.uk. He sells off cuts on ebay under Seller montyidd, you can message him for alternative lengths etc if they aren't listed. I'm pretty sure he is the supplier of the filler pipes that many vw people sell though. .
