copper pipe

unbendable! I now have 25m of kinked pipe.

Can I get plastic fuel pipe? My dad reckons that will take longer to fail than rubber?

Did you use a proper bender?

Like this one?

Up to 90 degrees and a little bit more.

thanks david, I'm guessing £20 would be cheaper than buying 5-6m of properly specced rubber pipe?

It seems that the sort of rubber tube we can buy doesn't have a long life...

Have found automotive copper pipe or better still Kunifer doesn't tend to kink so easily. Still better to use a bender though
