Looking to get my old moped up and running, wouldn't start last time I had a go so going to begin with changing all the fuel hoses as for all I know they are 21 years old like the moped.
The 2 local car accessory shops normally only sell heater hose, never anything that can withstand fuel. Would Halfords or ECP sell it?
I know I could get it from ebay etc but ideally want to but it tomorrow as start a new job on Monday and the moped would be the easiest way to travel.

Any decent local motorfactors (ecp / carspares / and independent) should have it all in stock, on reels and sold by the meter.
Should work out cheaper / quicker than ebay

the halfords hose is probably intended for petrol, diesel is alot more corrosive to rubber so make sure you buy the right grade!

I did my Bosch conversion in October 2011 with halfords fuel hose and it is still fine. It's not leaking and I haven't even got a jubilee clip on it because my Bosch banjo has the long pipe fitting on it.
