Diesel hose pipe - is it special type of hose??

[airborne1]

I am looking for some hose to connect to my deck filler fitting to my new fuel tank. Approx 2 Mtr length.
Does any one know if this requires a specific type of hose or will any type of plastic hose do the job.
The diesel fuel will not lie in it but just run down and into the tank.
Does any one know of a supplier of this type of hose, other than Vetus or some such Chandler at GBP 24.00 per metre??

Use the correct pipe, £48 is not a great deal when you are talking £20,000 boat.

Agree with boatbuilder, use the correct hose. I bought mine from ASAP. Don't forget, fitting the wrong hose could possibily invalidate your insurance. It is also a requirement for those who need a boat safety certificate.

I have a length of 50mm fuel hose left over, its rubber with metal spiral, I've just used some for my filler pipe, it's a bu&&er to work with in tight spaces.

Give your local fuel supplier a ring. They have delivery hose from farm tanks at about £12 for a 3 m length, fully certified.

Look in Yellow pages for local hose suppliers, I got mine from Hyphose in Poole.

It should be to ISO7840. ASAP does it at about £17/metre. But as suggested try a local Hose supplier.

And get hold of some bolted hose clips. Standard screw thread hose clamps are really not up to the job of squeezing the wire spirals tight enough.
