Ivor,Will you be replacing with Viton lined stuff? The only affordable Viton (at
that diameter) seems to be fluorosilicone lined silicone hose, which is not
rated for permanent (internal) immersion, but is advertised to be OK for
temporary
immersion and full time contact with vapours. Softer too, which may make
getting a gas-tight seal a bit easier.

Hi Duncan
I have always tried to minimise Avgas use but some times that all you can
get, so Mainly UL91 with some Super unleaded as a last resort,
Yes i do try to leave the fuel tank full but not normally up the cobra,
The amount of Rubber exposed to any fuel is quite small, after the cobra i have
a aluminium pipe so the two pieces you see just connect the pipe to the tank
and cobra,
outside condition of the rubber is good,
