Ok so found a slight petrol leak on my black 6 on the white and green plastic section of the pipe that clips to the inner wing. Think the 3' long white part has a split in it.
I was thinking rather than faff about changing just those bits from pug when all of the white and green elbows usually get leaks anyway could i upgrade to braided ones from the bulkhead up? I've seen a few cars on here like this but dont know where they would attach or where to get them from... Any ideas chaps?

Just go to a factors chap, get the two different sizes you need and some jubilee clips and some tie wraps to keep them together. Take you ten mins

What you need is 8mm, 10mm fuel hose with an 8-10mm reducer.

The 10mm line is 8mm on the car end.

[edit] There is no advantage to fitting braided lines.

I'm sure people will come along soon and say that you don't need the reducer. You do.

That's better than 8 and 10mm without a reducer.
