td5 fuel filler hose lube, KY / dish soap? dont want to use silicone
Will get the pipe hot of course, anyone done it?

why don't you want to use silicone -either grease or oil
for o rings rubber to plastic or metal silicone is what i use
the only issue with a silicone lubricant is it doesn't lube metal to metal and promotes galling

silicone not good if gets into fuel....

i didn't know that but a slight smear on the metal i wouldn't think would hurt
you could try normal hand soap
when i was a shot blaster i always had a bar to hand for rubbing into holes in wagan tanks if when you blasted them they pin holed

filler hose n clips just arrived, genuine LR, i have to say i am very surprised its very soft and pliable i think it will be fine.
others i have done in the past have been a right mare and very hard.

Spit is an old fashion lube.

Yes, I used the fuel itself when I last had mine apart to fit an auxiliary under-wing tank.
