My guess, without any evidence to base it on, is that unlikely to seal against the pressure and heat. Wouldn't it be possible to replace the flexi bit with fuel hose (no problem with temp and pressure, depending on the type) and use hose clamps? I had thought of replacing the drain hose on mine using fuel hose.
Be interesting to put up a poll along the lines of how we all learned.
I like you am mostly self-taught. but was lucky to have friends and neighbours with knowledge.
Did NOT come down from my Dad, as apparently happened to quite a few. And moved too far away from my Grandpas, who were both engineers, at an early age.
But the net has really made things a lot easier for all of us.
Have to confess I think cars could be fixed by almost anyone with a bit of mechanical knowledge until fuel injection came on the scene.
Gave this some thought, there is such a thing as an "olive removing tool" that plumbers can use. Not that I have ANY idea how slip rings are fitted. Can you not experiment on your dead alternator? Careful action with a junior hacksaw cutting at an angle, for instance?
