Petrol crystalisation

[Black Knight]

Opened the garage door to be hit with a huge stench of petrol - beautiful

Seems like the fuel hose is split, there was unleaded all over the floor.

What I didn't expect was the crystalisation all along the fuel line. Is this normal and what would cause this?

It's not the legend is it?

It's prob just the rubber perishing with age.

Aye it is mate!

Just a little split in the top of the rubber, prob my fault as i've had it on and off a few times recently.


But why the crystalisation though??

The evaporation of the fuel causes moisture in the atmosphere to freeze at the point of evaporation.

Same lines as carb icing. Same as licking the back of your hand, apart from petrol evaporates quicker, so it removes heat quicker.

Haha, that's well cool, looks like your engine is about to do a lapdance with a feather boa.

I've never seen anything like that on my bikes before
