My fuel pipe has split and is now leaking, probably from taking the fuel tank off too much and the age of the pipe as well.
Does anyone know the size of the fuel pipe, inner and outer diameter and where to purchase one from.
Dont want to pay CMSNL/LINGS prices for a 99p piece of tube.

My local bike shop keep rolls of pipe in stock , just take the pipe to a bike shop and the should be able to cut you a length.

as said above, i took a bit of my old pipe to a car spares place near me and asked if he sould fuel pipe with the same or very simialr I/D to the curent fuel pipe, i ended up with some fuel pipe slightly smaller than original which ended up in a better and tighter fit.

The pipe inner diameter is 9mm.
I measured mine at 10mm, when I cut into 2 and measured the NEW end it was 9mm.
The Auto shop had some in, its a tight fit and had to soften it in some hot water first.
