Default Odd size Fuel Hose

I'm trying to find about 1ft (30cm) of 32mm INSIDE diameter fuel hose that's suitable for full time emersion in petrol, ideally the hose should NOT have wire reinforcement i.e. is semi flexible as it's a little tight where i've got to put it!

I've tried all the usual suspects eg cbs, europa etc

Any ideas?

The Marlin guys have been down this route with the fuel filler hose. Not sure of diameter. But could not get is anywhere. Apart from the filler neck of a MK2 200 (wedge). Or was it Mk3?? I'm sure it was a mk2.

Worth a look down the breakers though.

but it does seem to have a wire helix?

I have found Marine Chandlers a good source of unusual fixings and things...

Yup, I'd already found that site. I have got some hose already but it has the wire running around it and it's too stiff. The most promising so far is:

I'm going to phone them up and try to get a "sample"
