Quality rubber fuel lines
Quality rubber fuel lines for beetles.....
Who sells them & where to get them from, don't want cheap stuff looking for top quality.
Any tips or recommendations would be great.
Am in Sydney area, thanks.

A Volkswagen dealer?
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Do you mean Standard Original type material or something for After market ??
If you mean original size material YES there is a LOT of crap around
If you mean aftermarket for say fuel injection then go to Pirtek I use there fuel line and it really good aint failed in 5 years
also tested it in all 4 types of fuels 91, 95 98 an E10 did not lose any quality

I don't know how You can tell the quality of fuel lines..
You can buy the cotton covered hose like the originals from most VW shops.. but where it comes from???
You can buy [black rubber type] made in the USA fuel hose at many auto shops.. I can't remember the brand name..
I use it, but I replace it every few years.. I haven't had it split etc
but prefer to renew it . Vintage Vee Dub in Sydney would have good quality VW fuel hose..

The problem with USA hose is that it is the wrong size.
