    Fuel Pump Flexi Tube

    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!
