Series petrol filler hose

Just changed the filler hose on my swb 2a. Apart from the usual hot water
and light greasing etc, it took the removal of the filler spout from the
rear tub and a significant cut out of the rear bulkhead to prevent the new
hose from chafing as the old one had done over the years. The fault was
originally highlighted when I went to fill up and put just over a quids
worth of juice into my front seat before I stopped pumping. Very scary as
the petrol came out of the door.

Anyone checked their filler hose recently. It appears unprotected behind the
drivers seat back.

Percy has a rubber strip over the metal edge , sort of a U shaped channel to
prevent this.

I have however performed the same exercise on Percy and it was a git to do.
The hoses seem to Perish over time anyway.
