Re: [T3] leaky fuel hose

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Even VW have changed to the 3-layer stuff now.  Must have lost the magic formula
for the old stuff.  I'm pretty sure my front 7mm feed hose from the tank to
tunnel pipe (carbs!) is the original 33 year old stuff.  I've never yet changed
one of those, but I'm pretty sure the pipes are plain ends, so no stretching
over a shaped pipe.
