Any body that can tell me where I can buy "clear blue urethane" fuel line in Cape Town area.
During pre-fight discovered fuel and oil pipes cracking on the ends.
Decided to replace all my rubber pipes, oil and fuel with this type (clear blue urethane) that I saw on couple of trikes .

Hi I got mine from USA and it doesnt last. Suddenly starts to change color to blueish white and just disintigrated without warning. Will never use this again.
Fitted the correct fuel grade black hose made by goodyear and no more issues.
That hose in your photo isnt proper fuel grade hosing hence its cracking up now.

Do not use it any more too. It seems that you get two kinds of blue pipe. The one also discoulour in time but lasts untill hell freezes over. The other also discolour, but it gets brittle and breaks off just in front of the hose barbs. Both cost the same price, and they look the same. In the famous words of Forrest Gump: You never know whit yer goanne geet? And THAT is my problem with this type of fuel line. Not knowing what u get.
