Braided hose smell

[deltamal]

Iv'e got braided fuel hose from the tank to the engine, the car lives in the car port through the summer, so no problem, have moved it to the garage which is joined to the house, getting grief about the petrol smell perculating through, is there a braided hose that does not let the vapors through?

There is a thread about this very topic somewhere. I think the answer was teflon lined hose like Aeroquip or similar. I'll see if I can find the post......

Yes Malc it's the Teflon lined braided hose but it's pricey

Thanks for help guys, have sent a few emails out to price it up, cant do a lot about it till the hip is strong enough, (had it replaced last week) about 5 weeks I guess, but can get it all ready,

Got mine from exact engineering in totnes and all the fittings, line is about £8 or £9 a meter and fittings vary from £8 upwards, why dont you ask paul at parkway malc, he did work at jre so be happy to advise and help as you know

[PIG]

with the teflon hose you have to use different fittings as well the robbing buggers.just a note thats all bud

[deltamal]

Got the hose and fittings from Torques, £9.60 per metre, next day service, prob will be Paul,he is a good egg! Parkways are good, take my cars and works trucks to Wayne for servicing etc, thank's for the input guy's

Malc i have teflon braided but still smell fuel from the vent on the tank,but you only smell it when your in the car,so it does work better than the ordinary stuff

[deltamal]

Thats good to know! as long as it cut's the smell down, I won't get grief! I will have a pipe running through the car next year to feed the petrol to the Nos set up, so that would have been a problem as well, would have been a bit high!

yeh good idea ,its only the braded hose breathing,but the teflon should cure it,my car lives next to the kittchen and the door from kitchen goes into the garage and you cant smell it,her in doors does moan when i start the car in the garage though says it stinks the house out

[deltamal]

They just don't appreaciate a nice old car smell!!
