Need some E10 fuel hose SAE 30 R7.
Mine all went after 4 years similar times depending how much the pipe moved when engine running. If one goes change them all.

SAE R7 is for low pressure applications (i.e. Carbs), SAE R9 is for high pressure applications (i.e Injection).

Both are rated DIN 73379

All will work with pump petrol with ethanol.

There is cheaper out there but Sytec are well known for fuel handling in racing.

Is it just the Mumford which has rotted pipes? I went for branded Goodyear hoses with the spec printed on to ensure it was the pipe I was buying. Black pipe is just black pipe without provenance.

Sorry Chris,that was the spec of the new pipe I put on. Can't remember what the old pipe was.
However the
Mumford passed today,only a small leak on the exhaust where there are two pieces are joined together with a 3 foot section of flexi pipe! I will get round to correcting this with the stainless system I have in stock.

Most of the interior is out now and being changed to navy blue. I have some direct replacements and some being retrimmed. Hoped it would be ready for the Presidents weekend but there's been a delay at the upholsterers.

You and pops coming IOW?

Afraid not,one car with only the drivers seat and the other will only run for 1/2 hrs before conking out. A fuel issue. I must try it without the fuel cap on. Maybe next year resplendant in navy leather,and possibly even heated seats!
