S 3 Fuel filler hose

[phil1800]

I need to replace the old filler hose on my S3. Does anybody know the cross reference of this hose, i.e. from which vehicle was the filler arrangement was sourced?
My recent bad experience with UK suppliers makes me hesitant to order from one of the usual vendors, pay shipping and duties, only to find out that it doesn‘t fit or leaks.
Thank you!

The tank tube is 57mm O.D. (2.1/4") and so is the filler tube, on my S3. It's just a straight piece of hose, cut to the correct length. Lotus probably bought it by the metre and cut off a length for each car I'm sure it's not from another car of the period. As long as it's fuel resistant you should be able to get something locally.
