Hi Guys

Happy New Year to you all.

I need to find out if there is a repair kit for the fuel line from the rear of the petrol tank to the plastic line.

If there is. Is it a Honda only part or can it be sourced else where?

Unfortunately my 5th Gen won't pass the MOT without this being sorted :cry:

Thanks

Sybil

most just replace any broken lines with suitable rubber pipe
@Merlin has had his 5th gen done so maybe he can advise.

ive had one of the lines replaced on my 4th gen - im sure the garage just used some airline hose
