Hi John,
bit of a pet subject with me at the moment
The EEC want all governments to introduce E10 (petrol with 10% Ethanol) by 2013 (i think?). This is non-compatible with copper and ordinary fuel hose. Now the IVA manual says...
Taking into account the type of fuel used, the fuel system, including the fuel tank, shall be so designed, constructed and fitted as to withstand the forces, vibration and corrosive environment to which it is likely to be subject.. Which could mean that anyone going for an IVA test in , say 2 years, will need to prove that the system is designed for E10 fuel.
You need fuel hose that is to spec. SAE30R9 or better.
(see thread called 'Fuel Hose Panic' for more details)
I'm planning on using something like Gates Barricade fuel hose or Goodyear SAE30R9 on my Sabre.
I think I used 10mm pipe on my Sportster as that was the size of the outlets on the tank.
The HP pump was supplied by Marlin and was a Sytec pump but I don't recall which model number.
