In chasing up some braided fuel hose and fitting I was informed of and issue some of you may like to know. (if you don’t already)
Unleaded fuel, especially more recently with higher ethanol content has a habit apparently of permeating rubber fuel hose. This of course causes evaporation through the hose and fuel vapours collecting etc.
However after some time the hose breaks down and i guess - into your carb etc.
So i was told, and then researched and read, that i needed to use Teflon fuel hose and therefore different couplings.
So there it is.
Hope it helps.
Darren.
