Got a new fuel filler to go on whats the best hose to use.
I can get rubber hoses for water cheap,would this be suitable or best to use silicone ones.??

No.

You need fuel grade quality hoses or else the hose will dissolve with the fuel.

I've just bought a new fuel cap and 500mm of fuel hose from cbsonline, came with a spec sheet if needed for iva. Silicone is no good unless it states is has been lined for fuel use.
