Fuel Fill Hose in 2000+??
Thursday, April 05, 2007 9:08 PM
Ok, I searched but didnt find anything. Anyone know where to get 1-1/4" or 1-1/8" fuel hose? I'm moving the fuel filler tube, but can't find anywhere that sells hose this size. The knub coming off of the tank is 1-1/4" and the tube that goes to the filler is 1-1/8". Any help finding this would be appreciated. Thanks.

well....we discussed this in a few threads and i think there was only 1 person who actually found tru gas hosing in that size and it was pretty expensive. i ended up using a different type of hosing. not sure how well it will hold up, but it should last a while.

i have some extra if needed.

There is a company in Camden, Delaware called Eseco that works on hydraulic pumps that has some 1 1/8 rubber tubing or any size hose you need for gas lines. MAYBE CHECK IN YOUR AREA FOR HYDRAULIC EQUIP & SUPPLIES. They may be able to help you!

I had to use the 1 1/2 inch line for my 98. My filler measured 1.453. This hose is hard to bend but it will eventually.

Make sure you take a micrometer and accurately check the outside diameter of the metal tubing to get the right hose to fit your fuel filler. If the filler measures 1 1/2 inches or a little less like mine did on the outside measurement that is the size hose you need to order from them. There was no way I could get the 1 1/8 inch hose to work for me.

Their phone number is 302-697-3300 if you do not have any hydraulic equipment supply center near you.

The gas hose has thick walls and some of the gas line has some metal strands in the hose so it will hold it's shape better and won't collapse.

I'm still looking around here a little bit. I might just have a muffler shop bend some pipe for me. I'll let you know if I need you to get some for me though. Thank you for the offer.

I can't get it for anyone but you have their number and I am sure he will ship to you.
