Fuel pipe

[Paulprior]

Hi
I havent seen fuel pipe discussed recently, in the past i have seen a lot of recomendations for Gates Barricade, also Marine grade 7840, or whatever it is carbuildersolutions use, any recent thoughts ?

I buy this when needed, gates is another popular choice but I'm not sure they are the quality company of old.

Hi belle427, yes I had seen some stories about the Gates hoses not lasting, I have also put that hose in my basket. I was also looking at new clips, I see the OD of the pipe is 13.5 and clips come in at 13 -15mm, do you know if they are ok, seems a bit close on the minimum size?
Is it the 12mm ID for the in and out for the pump do you know ??

I can't quite remember on the clips but I'm sure 13 to 15 would be ok, I'd order some of the next size up though just in case.
