Slight length variations and fitting styles can be observed between the MK-I and MK-I* flexible fuel hose assemblies running from the fuel tank pickup fitting to the three way fuel valve (tank selector switch)

British MK-I 9/40 dated flexible fuel hose measures +- 19-1/4”.
Canadian MK-I* 1942 dated flexible fuel hose measures +- 19-3/4”.
Canadian MK-I* 1943 dated flexible fuel hose measures +- 20”.

Canadian made ‘three-way’ fuel valves are fitted with three adapters, CTL 3485B.
There are at least three versions of this valve: early Canadian MK-I* carriers used a British supplied valve, followed by a Canadian made valve C01UC 106011 ‘B’ series that attached the fuel hose ‘straight’ on, followed by the ‘C’ series that attached the fuel hose at an angle, allowing the fuel hose to be routed without fowling against the transmission top hat.
These valves are not interchangeable with the ‘two-way’ valve found on the C31UCW NO-2 MK-II* carrier.

Each flexible fuel hose was supported by a ‘Clip - fuel pipe and fittings, CTL 7212. The clip was fastened to the transmission using the existing transmission top bolt(s).
