Your help on this matter is appreciated Martyn If you purchased your R6 from EBay it’s highly likely it’s fake and will melt from the inside . I’ve got this TShirt . Suggest upgrading regardless to Gates Barricade which is available from the Club Shop and Moss . I don’t think you should be using E10 anyway and E5 premium is the forward . Where available I use Tesco E5 Momentum 99 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Worse, R6 is not suitable for any e5, e10 etc. So yes, buy some proper, branded R9 hose. Not from ebay, but club shop or proper retailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn wright Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hi All! I went to a Hydrolic pipe specialist yesterday and purchased some Copper Fuel line and asked if he had any R9 Rubber fuel pipe? He showed me the Manufacturers specification via his computer for the R6 Rubber Fuel Pipe and it stated that "R6 is suitable for E5,E10 and upto E15 Fuel (if E15 was available)? Cheers Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 this article gives clear view on the evolution of R6 to the current R9 type specification i cant see R6 is in anyway the right advice when much less permeable hose specs like R9 and better are available Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
