Fuel filler hose

[Dave Lane]

Running original ones still , copy ones are too stiff and last nano seconds

Could be, found out rubber not really rubber anymore, add fuel and it rotas like heck

The one I purchased was actually from Malcolm. Was a few years ago now - maybe a duff batch?

[John A. Ross]

Where did you get it from Oli ? I got my last one from Bob and albeit a bit big and more rigid , the last few have been fine.All made in UK I think

[OliDP72]

The newer ones don't seem to last very long though. I went back to a good used original one after the new one cracked very badly after not very long.

Just ordered one from Malcolm £25 and £5 for the overflow hose

Yip 2" or there abouts and a 45 deg bend all that is needed. Did not find any that cheap though

https://www.txautosport.co.uk/produc...CABEgIHu_D_BwE would these work John? 51 mm 45 deg. Not had a standard filler on my imp for 20 odd years and never replaced one for anyone on a standard car.

Thanks John, will ask Malcolm.

Dan

My bad, I claimed Bobs last one for DDG

Did Bob give a lead time for more as I think they are all made in the UK. I am not sure they are actually made for the Imp exclusively as I had to cut a fair chunk off the end to make it fit.

Malcolm has them listed and also slightly cheaper than Bob

You can buy the filler hose size off the shelf, but most start more expensive 51mm with 45 deg bend £20 plus

Sorry to say but Malc would be your best bet

Anyone know a supplier for the hose from the filler to the tank ? Mine is cracked. Club spares don’t have any.
