1340banditpaul Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 What size fuel hose do I need for Gsxr 38mm carbs and a Pingel fuel tap? I think it's 8mm I/D but not 100%. And where's the best place to buy some from? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

wraith Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Can't remember who it was, but I think the size, type and where to get it from came up Quote Link to comment
gmseed Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 WeMoto sell neoprene fuel hoses for around £6/metre. I recently bought some for my 1985 GSX-R750. Although aftermarket it is of good quality. WeMoto Fuel Hose 2 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's 8mm and the braided cloth covered stuff available at autojumbles takes some beating, and it's a lot cheaper than the fancy coloured new fangled stuff that may be fake and even leak if it is 2 Quote Link to comment
gmseed Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) BTW, I don't know about you but I always resent having to pay £2+ for daft little washers and clips. Take the £1.45 fuel hose clip at Suzuki Vintage Parts: Fuel Hose Clip As a result I am always seeking out alternative suppliers of such everyday items. I recently discovered a UK company called HCL Fasteners, who supply a range of hose clamps; eg: HCL hose clamp Ah ... 15p for an 8mm hose clamp is more like it! The only problem with HCL Fasteners is that they have a minimum order of around £7, if my memory serves me right. So, I bought 10 of each of a whole range of spring band type and double wire type. Hopefully, I'll never have to purchase any ever again! Just a tip that I thought might be useful and save you a few £ in the long run. Also, if you live in the UK another great supplier of nuts and bolts and fasteners is GWR Fasteners: GWR Fasteners who make all of their own products here in the UK. You can buy from them direct via their website or e-bay shop. A £2.29 nut from Suzuki Vintage Parts ... I don't think so!!: £2.29 Nut Edited June 4, 2018 by gmseed Quote Link to comment
