Hi
The surf has a new problem - around the front left wheel arch the metal fuel lines have corroded to the point where tiny leaks are springing out of them. My local garage some time ago replaced the lines with rubber hose however for some reason on the line that is the return, did not cut off the metal line high enough and it is still leaking. the truck is no retired (semi) to the farm and miles away from said garage. I'm going to order some hose myself, cut the metal line where I'm into good metal that has not been getting exposed to the elements and replace the garage hose. Question though - any idea of hose diameter? I've seen this stuff on eBay and reckon the 3.2 is probably just the ticket but wonder if anyone else has done this to confirm before I order?

Thats the stuff there.
Also, do I need to bleed the system? its not starting at the moment which is probably as much to do with the fact it needs 2 new batteries as well....
