MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Buying Fuel Hose

I need a fuel hose supplier, please, to get more of this. No idea where I got it last time, but when I look at the usual suppliers, they're quoting 5/16".


Nick and Cherry Scoop

Do you have a local motor factor?

I have bought from ebay in the past.
Dave O'Neill 2

I got some from Halfrauds.
Bill B

Thanks. No useful shops in my neck of the woods; but there is a Halfords in Hereford.
Only £5.00 of diesel.
Nick and Cherry Scoop

Better check they've got it in stock before leaving home - DAMHIK!
C Mee

Nick,

is this what you're looking for?

They're not a million miles from you (Telford)?

Car Builder Solutions do mail-order: good for a multitude of bits-n-pieces.
Alan Anstead

Thanks very much. Annoyingly, we passed through Telford on Saturday morning.

But we do have to visit Hereford tomorrow, and they have it in stock; check again in the morning.

Must admit I thought ethanol fuel needed R9 hose?
GuyW

Me too Guy but it says it is suitable for unleaded, methanol, ethanol and diesel, but nit for bio diesel.
