Love the sarcasm :peace:

He's got a point though........ :lol:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

As a serious answer, Sudco (In the US) have a load of clear/coloured fuel hose listed:

http://www.sudco.com/fuel.html

They have a UK reseller listed as:


Allen's Performance Ltd
Unit B9, Moorbridg Road
Bingham, Notts
NG13 8GG England
ph 44-194-983-6733

So maybe give them a call?

From my experience clear tubes dont stay clear for long, IMO any tube/pipe upgrade braided is the way to go...

What is the internal pipe diameter, I have some left over from doing my 4x4.
