Beware fake fuel hose is out there

Here it is clearly stamped J30 R9, with hardly any pressure I can close it off completely, and it absolutely stinks of fuel after less than a month, it could be made of sponge for what good it is!!

R9 my arse
R9 my arse


Can't remember which ebay seller I got this off, but don't buy cheap, and keep proof of purchase, just in case....

I do find it hard to believe there are crooks out there prepared to sell such shite for high pressure fuel systems....

I check mine after ever winter before its back on the road. I suspect a lot of people have fallen foul of this fake hose

Some, even supposedly respected suppliers sell this rubbish .We have a large roll at work that we won't use
