Fuel Pump Flexi Tube

[Paddy]

Would anyone know or suggest what I can use as a replacement for the plastic tubing that links the actual metal pump to the pump housing? According to realOEM it doesn't have a part number so unlikely I can source the same item.

I'm thinking of trying to use some actual fuel line, I believe it's reinforced anyway, or something similar. It simply pushes up onto hose-barbs on the housing and pump but is clamped onto the pump end with a compression clamp similar to a jubilee. Can fuel line be gotten handy enough? I'll need about 18-20 centimetres I reckon.

Is there anything else I can get? It's the part 'looping' roughly above centre in Part # 1 here:

Thanks!

Fuel line of the same size will be fine but make sure it's rated for "fuel" as coolant hose will deteriorate in no time. And two small hose clamps!

yeah fuel line can be got handy enough.
