Hi Brian
I have been working with John Archer to get the standard mod for
converting the classic filler tube to aluminium approved. This is
currently with Andy Draper and just about ready to go. LAA will only
consider fully fuel proof hose, which is the Samco Pro Fuel. Everything
I have found other than this is only usable as a filler not for
permanent contact. The same problem will apply to the XS replacement.

pipe in place of the factory version due to early concerns re fuel immersion
particularly on the Mono. The lower joining section had identical deterioration
to that which Ivor reported. Time in service 10 years mostly with Premium

The only hose we have found so far that is guaranteed 100% for petrol
is Samco ProFuel. Unfortunately it is on a 42 day lead time.
