Hi all,
As part of the rebuild on my TA22, I decided to fit a high flow bosch pump inside a US style fuel tank that already had a surge system.
I pulled it out the other day to check there were no problems. It works perfect is quiet and hasn't caused me any trouble.
BUT, I did notice that the fuel hose I used to join the pump outlet with is swollen and obviously not fuel resistant. The outer casing that is. What hose is available for use on an internal fuel pump?
Nitrile is fuel resistant, the problem so far is I can't find a high pressure hose that has a nitrile outer casing. All seem to be normal rubber and only nitrile on the inside walls.
The size needed is 5/16.
Hope someone can help,
Simon

8mm efi hose should do - you can buy this from any repco, global or other parts store.
about $20 a meter. Bought some recently for the efi conversion i did.

I used EFI hose when I first did the mod. I took it out to check everything the otehr day and found the outer rubber was swollen.
Outside the tank the hose is great.
I have now decided to use stainless steel braided hose that I had left over from another job. Its an overkill but at least it will last inside the fuel tank.
I found out the braided hose is all nitrile, I don't think all EFI hose is nitrile on the outer case which is a problem if you put it inside a fuel tank.
Thanks,
Simon
