Trevor,
My boot is exactly the same, boot up the smell dissapated, but with boot shut overnight the smell returned.
I found Repco sold the 30r9 hose(the salesman was like the other places I tried, didn't know a thing about standards used to identify the type of hose).
Performance Wholesale at Springwood sell the Speedflow version(444 series). The price difference between the Gates hose(Repco) and Speedflow is the shocker. Repco want about $30 a mtr and Speedflow quoted me $11 mtr for the 444 series hose.
This hose is stiff compared to the hose I am removing. Putting the hose onto the fitting on the outlet of the fuel pump is an ongoing saga. Boiling water, rubber grease and liquid soap only have minimum effect when trying to push the hose onto the fitting.
