Fuel Leak!
Manicminer:
Took a vehicle of mine to the garage with a leaking petrol pipe by the driver's door. They just cut the steel pipe and replaced it with a plastic one and a couple of Jubilee clips to clamp the joints.
Damonski:
hehe :) Ive told him already I dont want any botches like that :) It does go off road :lol:
hobbit:
The flex fuel pipe is as good as the steel one, two main kinds are the rubber fuel pipe or the harder plastic type, once in place, they are ok.
If you are concerned about snagging them have them re routed higher on the motor, although if i remember they are on the body now, pretty safe up there
waveydavey:
If you look the fuel tank on the disco's is plastic, that's good enough for me.
Don't forget that if you have had petrol dribbling over your chassis it's worth checking the underseal/rustproofing at some point. Petrol has a really efficent way of melting tar based stuff. A fuel leak becomes really expencive if you end up needing to repair the chassis a couple of years down the line.
Bulli:
most bikes use rubber fule hoses, they are more forgiving than steel tubing(not overbraid which is as tough as it comes) Most of the fuel system joints are clips of one type or another.
