Red rubber protection hose

Post by Melchior »

Does anybody know a source where to get the red rubber hose that protects the fuel hose from the tank to the filter?

Greetings... I've seen heater hose in about this color. Worth a look.

I have the same problem and tried the 3/4" red heater hose, but it is too tight to get the new size 10mm fuel hose through it. Need a slightly larger metric hose. Any advise from someone who has solved the issue?

Yes this is most likely factory fitted. This red hose shows spatters of black undercoating and looks 1960‘s throughout. It would be helpful if others with knowingly original GTEs could inform about their red hoses.

Yes, the red hose is correct for GTEs to protect the yellow fuel hose.
