Did i buy the right fuel hose for SVA ?
Last week i bought 5 meter of normal fuel hose, it's a clear sort, just the normal kind of hose.
Yesterday a friend askes me if this was the righr one for SVA specifications, are there any special specifications for the fuel hose i would like to
use ?
Thanks,
Marco

I'mm 99.9% sure it has to me marked for use for fuel on the side so the stuff you have bought will not pass SVA. The stuff you want is black 8mm
fuel tubing marked as such.
Anyone please correct me if i'm wrong.

And this is what is needed printed on hose for UK SVA. British standard BS Au108/2-L4/C4/R

Can't you take it back and get him to change it for the correct stuff?

Yes, but you will still probably need some "proper" rubber or braided fuel hoze for the ends wherr it joins the pump/engine.
You may find you can get copper microbore plumbing pipe very cheaply.

If this is for your main fuel line, tank to engine, copper is just fine. Just make sure that any hoses connecting from it to tank, and carb are the
correct type hose, "ie" marked as such. atb Chippy.

Clear hose is a fail as it becomes brittle when exposed to petrol.
You can buy the rubber stuff at most places like Halfords etc.
