Does anyone know where to get a new rubber pipe connecting the fuel tan neck to the pipe. It is L shaped and I have a slight fuel leak when the tank is full. Going to try and replace the tube before I replace the tank.
Thanks

Best place is probably the dealers, it shouldn't be too much i would imagine. dealers are normally ok on prices for rubber hose.

I took it off and had a look at it and it is L shaped. It was bubbling on the outside fro petrol corrosian. I have been quoted £32 from a scrappy but i would rather get a new one. Can you use and sort of tubing the same diamiter?
No, there is another pipe that runs diagonal along the inside of the rear wheel arch which we thought it was, thats behind a metal plate with 3 or 4 bolts holding it on.
Fuel neck filler pipes are prone to rot, would reckon someone would have one of here from a fragger, no difference in them for the models, ie 316 will fit upto 325 etc etc

yeah, mine was the same when i bought it, never checked it when i bought it, got low on fuel and it clogged everything with all the rust from the tank
would recommend changing it sooner rather than later from the problems it's given me
