Fuel hose

[hingumy]

Im looking for UK source for replacement fuel hose to fit between the
deck filler and the tank (standard Vega poly type in bilge). Internal
diameter is 1 7/8" or 47.5mm. The old hose looks very similar to
exhaust hose; i.e. it's corrugated and heavy duty.

The nearest size that I've found to be readily available is 2" or 50mm.
This could be used with a few layers of PTFE tape if the original hose
proves unobtainable/too expensive.

Spring Fever's was replaced with 50mm diameter length of Vetus hose; I presume our filler is 47.5mm too, because it was a 'loose' fit, but with two Jubilee clips screwed-up tight it squeezed down to seal fine.
