Is there any quick fix on the fuel filler pipe i can use untill the summer comes? was thinking of just cleaning it, using a steelbrush and some sandingpaper, glue it like **** with something that dont dissolves in petrol and duckt tape it. is there any other better genious way? maybe a tape that works on petrol?? maybe splicing tape?

it is leaking in the little hose between the rubber pipe and the metal one (just behind the A-arm). its glued stuck to the pipe in the other end of the hose because i had a leak at the gas tank on it... (on the highest point of the small hosething). that i fixed with 2compound epoxy putty, some contact adhesive and a shrink-hose. (Works like hell)

I am planning to make the whole fuelfillerpipe new when the ****ing snow and cold is gone.... (new one costs 1500 NOK, about 260 USD)
can i get some advice of what to make it in? was thinking of getting some plumming pipes. or just make the whole thing in a big fat radiator rubber hose (ofc something that does not dissolve in petrol) and just make alot of fasteningpoints, and the little hose just use cableties to hold it up against it or something... or maybe do it propperly and make it in metal... its rotten anyways so gotta get a new one, one way or another.

EDIT: and it cannot rust..... (Norway use salt on the roads in the winter... ALOT of salt...)

but gotta have a temp fix untill the summer... (today it was -12,5 degrees and snowing, and i am a big sissy)

Also, i get a bangingnoise when i drive over a hole (not on purpose) and it feels like the rear wheel is shaking a little bit when i hear the noise. I belive it is the wheel bearings... is it alot work to change them??
