Fuel filler pipe
Bluemoon - 17/3/08 at 12:58 PM

I need a tight bend in my 2" fuel filler hose.. With superflex type pipe (i.e for example from CBS) how tight can I get?

Any photos?

The stuff is so expensive I don't want to by something that will not work!

Cheers

It's not ideal to go through tight bends and because it is expensive like you say why don't you go to a local engineering firm and get them to just weld two pieces of ali together in the angle you need.

It will be a lot better when fuelling also...

Have you tried filling the car at a petrol station like that?

I would have thought the fuel would come spilling back out with the pressure.. or the pump would turn off almost immediately thinking it was full.
