The fuel hose currently fitted (left in picture) is too big,outside diameter,jammed between frame and belt cover.
Local hydraulic/fuel hose supplier recommends hose(right in picture).My thinking was that fuel injection hose has a "weave" in the rubber,the one recommended is plain rubber with a cotton type overbraid,more like carb hose to my eyes.Any advice appreciated

You want Goodrich stanless braided ones, you do

I think mine are like the one on the right.

I'll check tonight.

Can't you re - route it so it doesn't get trapped?

The problem is where the hoses pass between the frame and the cambelt cover.It was a pain to remove the tank as there was no movement in the hoses,would be impossible to remove the cambelt covers.
Hoses are not original,appear to be a bit too heavy duty.The recommended hose would be a perfect fit,but Im not convinced its "injection hose",last thing I need is a mobile barbeque!.

I also thought that injection hose always had the braid inside the rubber. Have you tried a car accessory place? They usually have lots of different sizes.
