Tank to filler cap pipe

[MartinClan]

The small length of tube that Marlin supplied was way too short so I purchased some from Europa. The problem is that although it is rubber the walls are very thick and it has very little flexibility (More suited to fueling Jumbo Jets..).

Can anyone suggest another source?

Cheers

Cheers lads

It seems I went to the one place everyone else didn't - doh

I got some of that stuff.
Mine is pretty solid and not flexible at all.
I found this quite handy when taking the rear tub on and off because it pushes itself over the fuel tank spout providing you get it in the right place. You can't put it on or take it off without removing the rear tub but once installed I don't think it needs to flex much?




of course it does mean you have to take the rear tub off to fit. Oh joy!

Thanks for the tip. I will wait to but some more till I have tried it. The tub has to come off again anyway 'cause I haven't made the boot floor yet. Next job after completing the bonnets which hopefully should be done this weekend!
