Can someone tell me where I can buy a fuel line for my Vl that goes from the tank to the external fuel pump? It's only a small hose but one end of the hose is larger than the other. I've been to enzed and repco and have had no luck.
Cheers

You won't get one mate as I've search every wreckers in Brisbane and also Holden, rare spares etc and no luck...I wrapped the pipe in tape and then slipped the hose over it a clamped it up nice and tight.
Other option,is to replace that whole fuel line (it's the return line from the charcoal canister)

Is the hose long enough to allow a tube reducer of about 20mm in length to be fitted along with 2 different size hoses and clamps ???
What is the outside diameter of each fitting ???
Can you put up a pic because I have made a lot of reducers from copper tube to fit awkard situations like this.

from memory i think the hose needed goes from 1/2inch (or whatever the next size down is) at the tank to 5/16inch at the pump if thats any help...vl-vs 6 and 8cyl are interchangeable.

Keep an eye on that hose as the fuel will disolve the glue in the tape and eventually the tape (especially if its thread tape or electrical insulation tape).
It may eventually slip off leaving you in a predicament like traffic congestion, bush fire, tow truck... all the fun stuff.

I changed my set up, I now have that line running back from the canister to the filler neck and the larger line is now my fuel return.
