I'm replacing the fuel hose in the fuel tank.
SAE 30R10 is the specification for the submersible fuel hose.
I'm told that it costs 40 dollars AU PER FOOT (that's 300mm)!
I'll repeat that...40 dollars AU PER FOOT!
What gives? It's hose that's made by Gates Corporation and it's a special order from Melbourne town in Victoria.
How long does this stuff last? I'm assuming that the existing hose is the original (now 24 years old) and that's why I'm replacing it the same time as I'm replacing the fuel filter.
