Seasons Greetings to all.
I would be very interested to hear what the latest thinking is on the type /
make of flexible fuel hose is best for handling Un-leaded Mogas now that our
wonderful leaders are insisting on dumping all sorts of horrible additives
into said fuel.
I have an XS with 912S fitted and the hoses have decided they've had enough
and have started weeping!
(I'm weeping, too, at the thought of changing them in this weather!
Regards to all,

Ron,
If you want to stay with flexible rubber you'll probably want to go with the best fuel injection system hose you can find. Over here we'd go to any good auto parts store to get it. Over on your side of the pond it may be different.
Best regards,

Looks good Ira but they don't appear to mention the conductive coating on the PTFE, it needs to be anti static electricity because minor sparks have been known to pierce the ptfe.

Hi Graham!
This hose does not have solid inner liner of ptfe. It is therefore
Compatible with the push on connector we are faced with on the older
engines. The Aeroquip 666 which is the ultimate fuel hose on many
specs is in two grades, one with, one without the carbon stripe for
prevent triboelectric phenomena. With that hose you need to be
careful about making sure you have the carbon and that you have
The necessary AN hose fittings because you can not push the Teflon onto
barb connectors
Cheers,
Ira

Finding Gates (and equivalent Goodyear) 30R9 hard to find I ended up
with equivalent Thermoid injection hose on US trip.
Equally "low permeation" marine hose easily found around here has much
thicker walls these injection hoses.
I only use small sections.
I mainly use alu tubing 5052-O and Aeroquip 666.
All I know on the subject.
