I realised recently that I have never changed all fuel rubber pipes, a lot have been changed over the years and all were in good condition but for peace of mind.

fuel filter and pipe from tank

While I was doing it I took the opportunity to relocate the fuel cut off valve, a lot seem to be fitted after the mechanical pump meaning if you had a split hose when running on LPG the fuel would just keep pumping.
No I can't be bothered with an electric fuel pump before you suggest it, I run on LPG mostly.
Now installed in pipe before pump on bracket

clip and polyamide pipe ( rigid plastic pipe) should be behind bulkhead

pipe to carb from pump and return from carb to tank , note one way valve that sits behind bulkhead pulled through for renewal.

Re: DG new fuel pipes & LPG fuel cut off valve relocation
Nice write up here Paul, so important that these are changed. The fuel pipe provided by Brickwerks is the best I have come across and does not seem to have the problematic internal cracking of other hoses on the market.
I still check them regularly though.
