Sutty2006 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Give Autohose Milton a ring. Unsure if they post, but if they can’t, order it and I’ll pick it up for you while I’m walking the dog and send it myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buz Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’m sure Gates is American so I think you will only get imperial sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've used 1/2" on the fuel outlet before with no issues. Just use a decent jubilee clip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 100% certain I’ve bought injection hose from them when I restored the 2.2i Rekord. Their eBay shop probably won’t be as updated as giving them a ring, they stock pretty much any fuel hose I’ve ever needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Technically you don't need it to be injection grade for the 12mm pipe, carb pipe is fine as its only gravity feed to the pump there is no pressure inside it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny just woke up with this realization this section would be under negative pressure so it would collapse rather than burst have ordered some and will change all of the fuel hoses next weekend.
