Petrol Hose

[philhoward]

Can anyone advise what diameter fuel hose I will need for a 500 Chimaera, and what length required to replace the whole lot.

Rubber pipe from tank to pump is 12mm (1/2 inch) - only need about 30cm of this.
The rest of the rubber pipe is 7mm (9/32") i bought 8m of this and had about 1m left.

Make sure you buy high pressure fuel hose. It should be marked as such.

I can get hold of 7.5mm id 10 bar rating. Would this be OK

10 bar is 145 PSI so should be but I don't know what pressure the pump operates at.

I wouldn't skimp on the fuel hoses though.

I got mine from car bulder solutions. They have a few different options.
