Is there a fuel line repair kit for a BB8 5th Gen?

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

i had to do such a repair on the lines of my 4th gen after i put fuel in for the first time after being laid up for 8 years all i did was cut out the damaged plastic and sleeved it with some fuel grade rubber job done
success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm :D :D
