I need to make up a couple of fuel lines from the tank to the pump and filter and I am looking for the semi rigid type that you heat and shrink onto the fittings. The trouble is I Don't know the proper name for it does anybody have a link to it?
Cheers

No idea. I binned all mine and used 8mm clear reinforced hose.
It was great to start with but you can hardly see through it now when tracing air leaks.

These do rigid pipe but you just need to warm it in hot water to fit or use olive fittings.

PVC pipe. that's all it is, comes in many flavours and is termed anything from fish tank to defender fuel lines.

Make sure you get the thick walled stuff tho. The thin walled crap will crease and buckle when bent.
