350 heavyweight oil pipe

Post by laxy »

I need to replace the short rubber hose conection piece on the rocker oil feed pipe that is situated under the petrol tank on my 55 single. The problem is that the only hose i can get locally that fits is marked fuel hose 12 bar 1/4"im concerned this may not be oil proof . Any advice welcome thanks

If it's good enough for fuel then I would say it's good for oil, only my humble opinion of course but I would use it.

Hi

Flexible fuel hose will be fine - if you're at all concerned, (I wouldn't be), fit the fuel hose for now and replace at your leisure.

If it's fuel tolerant, then it will be ok with oil.
