fuel resistant 2" couplers
Hey guys I'm after some 2" couplers same style as the silicone intercooler couplers but I need some fuel resistant ones to connect my fuel filler to drop tank. Anyone know where I can get some. I've been told Nitrile rubber ones are the go. The silicone intercooler ones aren't fuel resistant unfortunately

i can look into it tomorow for ya nick, pretty sure canterbury transport spares may have something to do the trick. ive used a silicon joiner on diesel before with no issues. not sure how it would go with petrol though

Re: fuel resistant 2" couplers
apparently diesel and petrol hoses have two different requirements. This is proving tricky

Re: fuel resistant 2" couplers
Canterbury transport spares have a U bend I can cut up but its $57+gst so I'll check it out anyway, but i'll probably look around for a factory filler hose I can cut up and use.
So if anyone has a spare fuel filler hose they want to get rid of let me know. After something with an inside diameter of 47-52mm
Cheers

retail I didn't bother asking, I could probably get some discount though I doubt it would be much
Nissbits will sell a fuel filler hose that I can chop up for about $30 so thats always an option

There is a place called "tyco" formerly "senior flexonics", that sells all kinds of hose. they used to be down by garden city bowl, but I think they have moved now.

I'd try HDC (hose and coupling distributers) in Annex rd.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............
