Alex Lowe Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi all Iv just purchased a 74 GT6 thats been off the road for the last 20 years and im starting the task of sorting the fuel line does anyone know a source that sells the rubber fuel lines in 1/4 and 5/16 which are SAE J30 R9 which is what i believe is recommended now with ethanol added to fuel. sorry for the lack of knowledge this is my first project while at university so any help would be really appreciated Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Welcome to the forum. The tssc club shop is highly recommended for this. Ring Angie to negotiate postage which can be a little high for small items. Avoid mail order auction sites as the tube may not be R9 despite what it says on the tin!!

Clive Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Don't buy from eBay.... TSSC shop, and miss, are reliable sources. Demon tweeks/rally design/ CBS are other sources. Cohline 2240 is one choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Gates Barricade is also the correct grade . Do not buy R9 grade from EBay as most of it is fake . Got the T-shirt The Club Shop sells Gates Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 and dont panic if you use 97ron ( as you should) it does not have ethanol added its only added to lower grade ** 95ron and thats what we ran side valves and mowers on i their day but club shop is a first call .

dougbgt6 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Welcome Alex! You might also consider replacing the pipe work between the pump and the carbs with one piece of rubber hose, it cuts down the chances of rubber "slivers" making their way into the carbs. And don't forget the little short piece of rubber in the passenger side rear wheel arch, often overlooked. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Lowe Posted July 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thank you all for the great response it’s really appreciated and gives me a lot to think about. Lucky I had clocked the short piece behind the passenger as iv spent the last three days back there trying to replace all the brake lines which are full of holes.
