Replacement perished pipe for bandit HB20

[benedmonds]

We have a possible reason for our HB20 issues. We have a perished fuel pipe. I would go to global but they will probably charge twice the rate of a general supplier...

Can anyone decipher the numbers or know the size and someplace online to get some cheaply..

Just take it to a garden machinery shop, they’ll have loads of it in loops.

 

couple of jubilee clips and you’re back in business.

Measure the internal diameter, the external size is irielivent unless it needs to fit through a tight space. Most small engine fuel line is around 6 or 8mm ID. regardless of size as @Mick Dempsey said most garden machinery shops, motor factors or agricultural dealers will have it on the shelf as will eBay and the like.

its normally sold by the m or a roll of lots of m

That will involve me taking it off.. and going to a shop..

I have learnt not to do the mechanical stuff, and I generally avoid shops for purchasing anything..

The internet has everything you need at the click of a button...

I just wanted to order some so the guys can fit it. The mechanical side of Canopy is on holiday...

In that case I'd take a guess at 8mm (5/16").....

It’s 2 jubilee clips, 1 screwdriver, 30 seconds.

Take the machine in then. It will turn a £1.50 part into £25 part but what’s your 30 seconds worth?

Just order a couple of meters of a few different sizes if you really don’t have the time to get the screwdriver out. It’s only a couple of quid.

As above Ben a few meters of each will always come in handy at some point.  Also worth getting the proper rubber reinforced gear as opposed to some of the cheap crap that goes rock hard as soon as it gets cold.

 

This gear is OK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAE-J30-R6-Unleaded-Reinforced-Rubber-Petrol-Pipe-Nitrile-Diesel-Fuel-Line-Hose/272024452250?hash=item3f55ebbc9a:m:mbKbHnXgih2MO1e3LYVkjww
