evo3000 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Noticed a strong smell of petrol today had a quick look and discovered the main line from the tank to the pump(GTE COUPE) is the culprit..before i investigate further..does anyone know the size of this line at all....🤔 also not caused by E10 eating the fuel system alive...lol as i only use v max.....👍...tbh i think its the original line so that would make it 37 years old😮 Edited October 25, 2021 by evo3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooker Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I used this for the tank to fuel filter & pump on my GSi hatch, would be very surprised if they used a different pump on the coupe https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/gates-fuel-hose-12mm-12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo3000 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 I've gone for the cotton braided line which was the factory fitment from the tank to the pump.🤓 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
