Thanks for the info. I thought mine was silicone. I'll keep my eye on it.
That explains my mate telling me that he binned that and bought some reinforced spill return pipe from the motorfactors for his as it was acting up and he thought it was air getting in.

Yep air getting in,you can see it on the clear pipe, got some new hose ordered, will pop it on the weekend ready for the cold.

Put the new bit of hose on with new clamps, started on the second attempt, not been used since last winter, brilliant

Every car that I've had with air conditioning has instantly cleared the windows when switched to re-circulation, more so when getting in with damp clothes, dogs, snow covered shovels, etc. Windows steam up, press recirc, windows defog all round.
I suspect your dehumidifer isn't working right. It's also why you see drips of water coming from recently used cars on hot days. The dehumidifer portion of the A/C system is pulling the humidity out of the air, whether it's externally sourced, or internally.
Is there a way to tell if you have a short or long return in the tank other than pulling it out!
Im about to fit one of these to my 1992 110 (rear steel tank with heavy duty guard - so a bitch to drop out!) and would like to tap into the return rather than the fuel feed, but unsure if its viable or not...

Will there be enough flow in a return?
(If there is)
I would use a push fitting T piece on the return.
You can always swap the T piece to the flow if you have probs with fuel flow

I think the idea is that the supplied pump pulls the fuel up the return pipe from the tank, which is why I asked if anyone knows if the return pipe reaches the fuel level or not...

Can't beat the Chinese diesel heaters. Got one in my caravan. And works a treat, just need to reposition the pump and when it's on full power, you can hear it though the van.
Also got one in my work van, as I spend the week driving around the UK and Europe. Did try tapping in to the fuel line but it seemed to keep bringing up air and to the van itself. I now just have a Jerry can inside a plastic box under my bunk, works a treat. Especially when your parked up the Swiss alps.
