I've used  Ariete.  It goes hard over time.

Confirmed! 3 weeks on my bike and it?s gone hard.  Black fuel tube it will be then

Maybe we should go back to copper fuel lines like the old veteran bikes. Polish them up for the steam punk effect.

Still have the original fuel lines (petrol pipe) on mine (1200 #1893) with the original pinch clamps, still reasonably flexible, and no leaks. Take the tank off at least once a year.

Each to their own I guess.

Me too on my 1973 SF2 which sees plenty of use and therefore tank off sessions.

My Dells had the original 1973 Cavis joining the two carbs. Might be hard but never leaked!

Most hardened fuel pipes soften nicely when give a gentle blast from a heat gun, or even a hair dryer. Not so good if out on the road, but into the workshop it saves a lot of messing around when removing or replacing.

Giving a fuel hose a blast, no matter how gentle, with a heat gun would never have crossed my mind

I think with a hot air gun, nothing involving a flame!!!

I've got some on my jota that Ralph at Motalia fitted nine years ago when he did my carbs,still flexible and still green .I don't know if he still supplies the same pipe?  Neale

I'm sure there are different brands of the green fuel line, only saying that the fuel line fitted to my RGS as standard was bloody dangerous.

There are different makes of green fuel line.

The one fitted as standard to your RGS was excellent. You'll never find better. If it was standard.

I assume it was standard, that was the hose fitted when I bought the bike new, maybe the fuel in Europe was different to the fuel available in Sydney in the early eighties. All I know is that the fuel line became brittle and cracked. Replaced with Australian Design Approved (ADR) fuel line from a reputable auto parts supplier.

I would file a complaint concerning unfair commercial practice and evoke anti trust laws.
Over here, we had brittle kangaroos when used with European corn. They were replaced with European kangaroos.
Turned out to be unfair practice.

Must be those Kangaroos Dainese use in there race suits, they need taller fences.
