Tight fuel line.

Does anyone have this problem.  Ive removed my tank 3 times in the last 3 months. Everytime its a "Drama " to remove the fuel line either off the tank or the carby. I tried abit of grease on the carby end which didnt help.

The standard petrol pipe is a PITA no

I replace it as a matter of course with neoprene pipe 6mm x 11mm and use 11mm Jubilee clips in place of the wire clips which I don't like!

Yeah, mine is a little hard to remove. I use a little rubber grease on them before fitting, when removing use a pair of small pliers or a flathead screwdriver to pry it off (being careful not to scratch the fuel pipe) . Using this method, it is not a problem for me and I remove the tank quite frequently to clean underneath.

I do not have issues with the standard wire clips these days. I used to think that they would not clasp the line tight enough. Over time, I have come to trust the wire clips and think they are great as they are easily removed and can be removed by hand. It also takes away the temptation to over-tighten the clamp. wink Of course, it's up to you what type you choose to like or dislike.
