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

apparently diesel and petrol hoses have two different requirements. This is proving tricky

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.
