2 years old. Graded R9 fuel hose. And this is the state it’s in! Today changing over to the “fit and forget fuel hose from VW AIRCOOLED WORKS, so we shall see if it holds up to the 25 year guarantee.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That is shocking - is it the same all the way through or just the end that's been crimped by the clip.
Nope! This one started at the end and it’s creeped all the way along! Bloody scary! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No as modern cars are fitted with what I’ve fitted today. 100% bio and ethanol resistant hose. Even with fuel sat in lines during winter months it’s still guaranteed for 25 years! As stated in the specs of the hose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
These were on my van for about a year and have never seen a drop of fuel. I’m surprised a lot more vans haven’t gone up in flames
For the tank hose I wonder if the samco type hoses fair any better? We do need a solution to this problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
this has just reminded me that i had a dream my bus was leaking fuel and caught fire! oh man... as if i haven't got enough to worry about!
What I don’t understand is my lawnmower fuel hose has been fine for years and that’s left for several months with fuel sat in it.
As I have learned over the years, dreams never come true. They just get beaten and bashed and recede into the distance as you just get older, fading until you’re not sure you ever really had them and....... oh sorry got carried away there, nah you should be fine Change em anyway though just in case!!
hahahaha! i've had them checked and they're fine, i seem to have had a week of high anxiety dreams. too many b vitamins and worries. i obviously need to sit and drink in a field in the midlands soon!
